* Teancum is a warrior without equal during the long war between the Nephites and Lamanites chronicled in Alma. He sneaks into the Lamanite stronghold and single-handedly assassinates the Lamanite king... ''twice''! First Ammonihah, then his brother and successor Ammaron. Sadly, he didn't make out out the second time, but still managed to deal a crippling blow to the Lamanites that helped end the war.

* When Amlici allies with the Lamanites to try and take over the Nephite government, Alma the Younger--current chief judge and prophet--[[FrontlineGeneral leads the Nephites into battle against him]]. He fights Amlici in single combat, kills him, then fights the Lamanite king 1-vs-1 so fiercely that the king flees for his life.
* At only age ''16'' Mormon is appointed the supreme commander of the Nephite armies and holds the position for 50 years. He's apparently so good that when he comes out of a 10-year retirement at the age of ''[[OldSoldier 75]]'', he's ''still'' considered the best man for the job by the Nephites and immediately gets his old position back. He leads from the front during the final battle ''and survives'' (where at least 230,000 other Nephites get slain), only getting killed later.
* In 3 Nephi, the Gadianton robbers threaten Lachoneus the chief judge, threatening to destroy the Nephites if they don't surrender to them. Lachoneus doesn't back down but instead prepares the people for war as the Gadiantons attack. The Nephites end up utterly defeating the Gadianton robbers, killing their leader Giddianhi, hanging his second-in-command Zemnarihah from a tree, and then cutting down the tree.
* When Zeniff's people suffer an unprovoked attack by the Lamanites, they quickly arm themselves, pray to God for help, and go to fight back. The casualties of the battle are listed, and if you compare the numbers, Zeniff's army killed the Lamanites at roughly a ''[[CurbstompBattle 10-to-1 ratio.]]''
* Even though he's a bad guy, the way Amalickiah goes from a rogue Nephite with a handful of followers to king of the Lamanites is pretty awesome. He gets appointed by the king to lead an army against the dissenter Lahonti, convinces Lahonti to make him his second-in-command, kills Lahonti with poison, returns to the king, kills the king, then frames the murder on the king's servants before marrying the queen to become king himself.
* In a book full of warrior prophets and generals, the Anti-Nephi-Lehis stand out by being a BadassPacifist nation. Having promised God never to fight again by burying their weapons, they absolutely refuse to defend themselves when the Lamanites come to kill them and bravely praise God in the act of getting killed. This is so touching that many Lamanites feel guilty and ''join'' the Anti-Nephi-Lehis--more than were killed. As an added bonus, the remaining bad guy Lamanites look for more deserving people to kill and [[BadGuysDotheDirtyWork go wipe out]] Ammonihah.
* Zerahemnah tries to sneak attack Captain Moroni during a ceasefire, but an [[BadassBystander unnamed soldier]] near Moroni stops the attack by breaking Zerahemnah's sword, then scalps Zerahemnah (nonlethally) before delivering [[YouHaveNoChanceToSurvive a warning]] that the Lamanites will be wiped out if they don't surrender.

** The previous generation also ''wanted'' to join the war effort, but Helaman convinced them that keeping their promise was more important, which led to their sons volunteering.

* With the war effort struggling to hold back the Lamanite invaders, with supplies and reinforcements not arriving, Captain Moroni finally learns that the source of the trouble is an uprising in the capital. Rather than take his armies away from the front lines, though, he simply brings a handful of men and a flag. They march through the land and call for volunteers to fight for liberty. Thousands of people answer the call and come together into an army that routs the usurpers and restores order.

* When Ammon decides to preach the gospel to the Lamanites, he goes to a Lamanite king, Lamoni, and asks for work. Lamoni puts him out tending sheep. Bandits scatter the sheep, and the rest of the shepherds panic, thinking that they're [[YouHaveFailedMe going to be executed]]. Ammon just goes to retrieve the sheep. Bandits come again the next day, [[AnArmAndALeg he cuts off their arms]]. The other shepherds bring the arms to the king, and Lamoni asks where he is. Turns out, he's still in the field tending the sheep [[NervesOfSteel as though nothing unusual has happened]].
* Helaman's 2,000 stripling warriors. They're a bunch of young men who answered the call to battle when the previous generation couldn't (they made a promise not to shed any more blood). So, when they actually get into battle, what happens? They defeat the enemy, and not a single one is killed.
* When Samuel the Lamanite is standing on a wall, prophesying about the coming birth of the Savior and calling out the Nephites on their behavior, some of them decide they don't want to take his words and shoot arrows or throw rocks at him. None of them are able to hit him.
* When Nephi is called on to recover the Brass Plates, he sneaks into the city and finds Laban (the current holder of the plates) passed out drunk. He then proceeds to chop off Laban's head, steal his clothing, and gets the man's servant, Zoram, to not only bring him the plates, but ''carry them to the edge of town'' in order to meet his brothers. After his identity is revealed, he persuades Zoram to skip town and join them in their quest. Zoram and his descendants later become loyal followers of Nephi and his descendants.
