Conditions
This information is not specified on Ansur's Examine page, but has resulted from contributor testing.
Immunities
Immunities include Conditions that, according to in-game UI messages, cannot be afflicted onto this character. Conditions that are not explicit "Immune to" messages can still go in this section, but please provide more detail about what combat actions are prevented.
Ansur is immune to all of the following Conditions:
-
- Is marked as an "Invalid Target" when attempting to use the melee ability Backbreaker, for reasons unknown.
Vulnerabilities
Vulnerabilities include specific named Conditions that can be afflicted onto this character, even if the chance of successfully afflicting this condition on the character is very low.
Ansur can be affected by all of the following Conditions:
-
- Control Undead (if above level 17, which requires a mod)
Encounter
Ansur can be fought in the Wyrmway, after completing the four chambers. He will summon two Water Myrmidons.
Reactions
Ansur's passive Legendary Action: Draconic Wrath will let him use Lightning Breath on the first creature that attacks him each round.
Phase one
When Ansur's health has been reduced enough, he will use 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 Stormheart Nova, dealing a massive amount of Lightning damage. This attack will only hit creatures which have the condition 
, which can be removed by taking cover.
Phase two
After using his Stormheart Nova, Ansur will summon five lightning strikes each turn with his attack Bout of Storms. Any creatures standing inside the strikes will take damage at the end of the round.
Electricity Resistance Tactics
Equip The Sparkswall ring if you obtained it from the Arcane Tower in the Underdark. Then manually group the rest of your party into a huddle and throw an Elixir of Lightning Resistance (sold by Arron in the Emerald Grove). By breaking the elixir into the huddle, the rest of your party will become resistant to electricity until a Long Rest.
If playing with a mod that increases the maximum level cap, then an Oathbreaker Paladin above level 17 can use Control Undead on Ansur to defeat him in a single move. The Emperor and Wyll will act as if he was slain and you get the XP for slaying him. You cannot loot Balduran's Giant Slayer from his corpse this way, but can still reach the Helm of Balduran. The undead dragon has 0 movement speed and will not use its fly ability to follow you around to fight for you, but will go with you through some doorways and will fast travel with you to the waypoints in Rivington or the South Span of Wyrm's Crossing. Ansur will not follow you to waypoints in the Lower City region.
