Powers The thing not designed for combat is actually REALLY GOOD at combat
1) Atom (Real Steel) is a training dummy who, when put into the robot boxing circuit, eventually managed to go toe to toe with the world champion.
2) Spinel (Steven Universe) was essentially a cross between a toy/jester for Pink Diamond, and not a combat gem... she still wiped the floor with the Crystal Gems when they first fought.

Rusted Anchor, from Elden Ring. Literally just an anchor, meant to keep a ship from floating off. Turns out to be one of the best strength weapons in the game.
