The concept of "better ... than" is difficult to express and not very warrior-like. I would suggest using the ancient ritual words that leaders have used for eons to send their soldiers into battle:
batlh yiHegh SuvwI'mo! yIcheghbe' lujwI'mo'! Die honorably as a warrior! Do not return as a looser! Qapla'! rol'a'
