[Stargate] How powerful would a near-ascended Alteran/Ancient infantry soldier be?

If a near ascended ancient was but on the battlefield, how effective would their powers be in combat? Could they say, take on a Promethean forerunner?

near ascended ancient infantryman is kind of an oxymoron. ancients spent most of their lives in deep meditation and study in preparation of ascending. non-violence was a big part of the ancients method of ascending. however we've seen that humans near ascension gain astounding intellect, telekinesis, telepathy, and even mastery over their own bodies. as such if we assume that ancients get similar abilities before ascension and are given ancient tech and weapons i'd say they'd be on similar footing with a forerunner. if we assume an ancient equally as exceptional as the ur-didact i'd still say they're roughly equal.
