Fights aren't always won with guns or swords: outsmarting your opponent can be just as effective. Battling this way also saves resources -- especially if it's a Combat by Champion of the highest-ranking members of each side.

And some play it well enough to never get wounded in the first place. Examples of Battle of Wits include:

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 Pacifists. If both combatants are particularly brilliant, can easily descend/ascend into Gambit Roulette or Xanatos Speed Chess. Examples of Battle of Wits include:
