At least on the general level, Galadriel, as an Elven woman, is rather guaranteed to deal some serious damage in battle:

Edit:
And more specifically, I am reminded of her role in the battle of Alqualonde, as envisioned in the last version of the rebellion of the Noldor, set down in Tolkien's last month of his life:
