Be sure to keep your AC and your hit point maximum as high as possible, and expect to lean heavily on healing resources (hit dice, etc.). This is very much a subclass dedicated to protecting your allies at your own expense. The Ancestral Guardian’s biggest problems are that it doesn’t provide additional damage output except Vengeful Ancestors (which may be totally fine if your party already does plenty of damage) and doesn’t make you any more durable than the core barbarian class features already do. The only drawback is that the archetype provides no abilities which increase your damage output, which makes it important to have another Striker in the party to compensate.
If you have frail allies (and almost every party includes a few), they’ll benefit greatly from this archetype, especially if they’re also in melee where they’re likely to draw attacks from time to times. This archetype deemphasizes the Barbarian’s role as a Striker, but dramatically improves their capability as a Defender.
