If he wants to make sure no one dies, but doesn't care overmuch if they get hurt, then perhaps a healing or stasis semblance - heal the life threatening wound, or put them into a stasis until they can be transported to somewhere that can heal them.

If he wants to make sure no one else gets hurt but doesn't particularly care about himself, then something to draw the attackers to him or something to shield the other.

If he just wants to make sure that no one gets hurt, including himself and thinks strength is the way to do it, then a stat boost is the way the go. That then depends on what he thought when he saw them die; I wasn't fast enough (to get to them), wasn't strong enough (to stop whatever was attacking them) or (to get them out of where they were trapped), wasn't smart enough (to find a way to help them before they died).

Speed could be something a bit like Ruby's - a literal burst of speed, perhaps designed to take them in a straight line to where he needs to be, and then a straight line back to where he was.

Strength could be a variety of things. It could be physical strength, or the ability to move things with his mind (lifting things heavier than he could with his hands), or the ability to change the mass or density of objects to make them easier to move about, or straight up levitation (in the case of 'I couldn't get the free and they died becaus of that').

Smarts could vary, but in this case it'd be more hyperawareness of the battlefield, or the ability to look at something and automatically catalogue the strengths and weaknesses and how to best us it to his advantage, or simply the ability to think so fast, a plan that takes ten minutes to map out would take him only two seconds (as he combined hyperawareness and the critical thinking of the previous two examples, a la Sherlock Holmes).

And the weaponsmith thing...technomancy? The ability to build technology as you see it in your mind (get the parts and then just look at it and it builds itself perfectly every time)?
