Ancestral Call is a support gem. Attack skills that are linked to Ancestral Call will attack two nearby enemies at the same time, automatically selecting valid targets within range for the attacks.

Skill functions and interactions

Ancestral Call can only be used for melee single target attacks.

Critical strike hits are rolled once for both strikes. Effects that trigger on an outgoing melee critical strike will only trigger once per activation of the attack, even though all three strikes will crit.
