Battle of Wits: Difference between revisions

Fights aren't always won with guns or swords: outsmarting your opponent can be just as effective. Battling this way also saves resources -- especiallyresources—especially if it's a [[Combat by Champion]] of the highest-ranking members of each side. Even if not, it's easier to recover from almost being outsmarted and getting your pride wounded than almost getting outfought and getting your leg wounded. [[Xanatos Gambit|And some play it well enough to never get wounded in the first place.]]

A staple tactic of the [[Chessmaster]], the [[Guile Hero]] and the [[Manipulative Bastard]] alike. One way for the [[Insufferable Genius]] to prove himself. The [[Super-Trope]] to both [[Batman Gambit]] and [[Xanatos Gambit]]. Losers are [[Out-Gambitted]]. Winners are often [[Badass Pacifist|Badass Pacifists]]s. If both combatants are [[Super Intelligence|particularly brilliant]], can easily descend/ascend into [[Gambit Roulette]] or [[Xanatos Speed Chess]].
