The shield can reflect [[Guardian (Breath of the Wild)|Guardian]] beams directly back at the shooter; this frees the player from performing a [[Perfect Guard]] but at the cost of the shield's durability.

On average, the Ancient Shield is one of the absolutely best shields in the game for [[shield surfing]] in terms of friction and acceleration due to its low sledding damage rate (1/5 durability points/sec), allowing Link to surf with it for more than 10 minutes. Only the [[Hylian Shield]] lasts more, but it has a higher sledding damage rate at 1/4 durability point/sec, making it slower.
