Once Ansur's hit points has been sufficiently reduced, he will use {{SAI|Gather Power}} to begin hoarding energy. While in this state, he will not take any other actions, and will be resistant to all damage types. After hoarding energy, he will release {{SAI|Stormheart Nova}}, dealing enough Lightning damage to potentially kill the entire party in one hit. This attack will only hit creatures that have the condition {{cond|Ansur's Ire}}, which can be removed by taking cover. | Once Ansur's hit points has been sufficiently reduced, he will use {{SAI|Gather Power}} to begin hoarding energy.

Ansur is also very difficult to incapictate. As an [[Undead]] he cannot be targeted by many spells, and most of his saving throws are extremely high. However, his INT saving throws are by far the weakest which makes {{SAI|Mind Blast}} and other Illithid powers an effective option to deal with him. | Ansur is also very difficult to incapictate.

Ansur's [[Stormheart Nova]] can be survived by hiding near the various [[Attuned Crystal]] structures on the battlefield, though these structures will themselves be destroyed by the Nova. {{SAI|Globe of Invulnerability}} will also protect party members from the Nova. | Ansur's [[Stormheart Nova]] can be survived by hiding near the various [[Attuned Crystal]] structures on the battlefield, though these structures will themselves be destroyed by the Nova. {{SAI|Globe of Invulnerability}} will also protect party members from the Nova. |
