Combat by Champion	comment	There's a dispute, and you could have your armies go at each other and kill a lot of people and cause a lot of damage — but really, wouldn't it just be simpler all around if two soldiers fought? (Or two small, numerically identical groups?) Obviously, if the other side is evil, you consent only if Even Evil Has Standards, because you must trust their word, and it's not unknown for a battle to break out anyway, but sometimes it works. Let's Fight Like Gentlemen is often expected. And, of course, This Is Something He's Got to Do Himself. May be an Involuntary Battle to the Death between Worthy Opponents. If the champion says Give Me a Sword, he is sure to get one. Also known as single combat, but covers only those fights where the two people fighting are deliberately selected from many. If it's only single combat because potential allies can't take part, see Locked Out of the Fight instead. Contrast Leave Him to Me!. Compare Duels Decide Everything, Trial by Combat, Worthy Opponent. Could be part of the rules of Challenging the Chief. May result in a Decapitated Army if the fight is to the death. For a realistic example of political tension manifesting in competitive sports, see International Showdown by Proxy.

Combat by Champion / int_136469af	comment	In Pact, as part of his attempts to avoid being enslaved by the Incarnation of Conquest that rules Toronto, Blake Thorburn challenges him to a contest where they each select five champions, surrender all their power for the duration, and let the champions fight, with whoever surrenders or is killed by the opposing champions being the victor. Being an Incarnation of a concept, Conquest cannot die unless the idea of conquest does, and surrender is in fact impossible for him, so he naturally accepts-only for Blake's champion Rose to trap him within a binding circle, leaving him powerless and the contest prolonged indefinitely, Blake having been more than willing to give up his ability to use magic in order to keep Conquest imprisoned.

After the Great War had ground into a bloody stalemate, Robotnik convinced King Acorn to challenge the Overlander leader to a duel, figuring that King Acorn would easily win, and that the Overlanders would pull a fast one, leaving him to rule. He was actually right, but Acorn's own bodyguards were smart enough to not trust the villains and held the other Overlanders at gunpoint until after their people had surrendered.

Combat by Champion / int_1aacbbc9	comment	Dragon Age: In Dragon Age: Origins, it's possible to settle the Landsmeet with a duel between Loghain and you or one of your party members. With a certain exception... Earlier in the game, there's also a knight who demands a duel with the main character. If he dies his friends will accept the outcome and leave quietly. They will only attack if you break the rules and send your other party members to fight as well. The example in Dragon Age II would fit this, if not for the fact that to get to the Qunari leader you have to carve your way through his forces first through the entire city. Once you get to him, you may still have to fight a few more of his grunts to fully earn his respect. You then can either fight the Arishok and his guards (with your entire squad) or just you and the Arishok. Fittingly, after this fight, you are henceforth known as the Champion of Kirkwall.

Combat by Champion / int_1c25dba1	comment	In Suikoden V, who the Crown Princess of Falena marries is determined by a tournament. Generally, the nobles don't fight themselves, sending champions or other representatives in their place. The current queen's husband, Ferid, shook things up by representing himself and winning; during the game's early Inevitable Tournament, Belcoot hopes to do the same. Despite the Big Bad's own champion being incredibly strong, Belcoot proves formidable enough that the villains drug him before the fight just to be sure. Late in the game, the hero has the option of either dueling said champion himself or letting one of the gladiators he's befriended (including Belcoot) do it for him. While technically this is still combat by champion, it's also a grudge match for all four of them, given that the Big Bad's champion is a particularly vile person with a penchant for Kick the Dog.

Caspian spares Miraz, but one of his advisers kills Miraz with a Narnian arrow to make it look like Narnia cheated. In both the film and the book, the duel is actually a feint. Peter and Caspian know they can't defeat Miraz's army, and the duel is merely to distract Miraz (by challenging his honor) until Aslan arrives. In the book Peter doesn't give the choice to Caspian, but the advisers still kill Miraz and frame Peter for using "dirty tactics."

Both times it's done when the mountain is under siege by the vermin, and the Badger Lord offers to do the single-combat way to cut the war short and save his followers. Badger Lords are made for this trope, since they're honorable to a fault, but also really really hard to defeat. Also in Mattimeo, when Matthias fights the Wearet. Noteworthy for turning into a battle anyway when Matthias lost.

Combat by Champion / int_28569895	comment	Played straight then subverted in the intro to Total War: Shogun 2, where the general of an army besieging a castle sends a champion to fight the champion of the defenders. The duel is played out beautifully, as both imagine they're fighting in a garden surrounded by cherry blossoms (they're really fighting in snow). The champion of the attacking side wins and walks back triumphantly, only to end up with a dozen arrows in his back. The infuriated general orders his forces to attack. Total War: Three Kingdoms includes a challenge mechanic in "Romance" mode, where a general or sub-commander can issue a challenge to one of their opponents. The two meet for a Dynasty Warriors style duel while the rest of the battle rages around them; losing does result in a minor morale drop, and the possible capture/death of the champion can definitely hamper the army's effectiveness in the field the next time they march out to do battle.

The Rogues are smallish pilots, the Imperials are enormous seasoned troopers, so there's no truly fair form of combat. So two from each side are armed with a spear, allowed to inflict non-lethal injuries, and told to compete to reach a specific goal. This still◊ favors the Imperial troopers, and they win, but ultimately it doesn't matter.

Since some of the deities have a large number of followers besides their respective champions, this is likely done as a far less destructive alternative to pitting all of their forces against each other to see who is the best.

Ortega cheats during the subsequent battle in a very extreme manner, and manages to escape. Fortunately, he doesn't escape Ebenezar McCoy and his Soviet satellites. In a later book, Harry and Ramirez challenge two White Court vampires in a much less restricted battle. And again, the vampire cheats when it starts to go against him. And in Changes The Erl-King decides this is a good way to determine which of his guests is going to be ripped apart. The two powerful vampires end up nominating their blood beast creature and a random Mook who got killed within the first ten seconds against Harry and Susan. Given that when it lost they got ripped to shreds by goblins maybe one of them should have stepped up. And again in Changes, the Red King declares Harry and Arianna Ortega's dispute will be resolved through a duel. Harry wipes the floor with Arianna but, once again, the vampire cheats.

If Supergirl wins, Rhea's fleet must leave Earth alone, but if Rhea wins, Supergirl won't stand in their way. Rhea cheats by using kryptonite and orders her fleet to attack in the middle of the duel. When Mon-El calls her out on violating the sacred rules, she sneers and says she doesn't care. Supergirl then defeats her and she still refuses to call off her fleet. However, Supergirl had also cheated by preparing a bomb that saturates the atmosphere with lead particles (lead is like kryptonite to Daxamites) in the event that she lost. Since Rhea won't back down, Supergirl orders the bomb detonated, killing Rhea and forcing her soldiers to leave Earth.

The fleet commanders fought mano-a-mano while their comrades watched. Neither individual would yield, though. Eventually they agreed to call a truce, not only to their fight, but to the war itself. The island eventually hosted an annual ritualistic combat tournament between the kingdoms to replace actual combat and to keep the peace.

Not with the WCW champion vs. the WWF champion, mind you, but with Bischoff vs. Vince McMahon. Vince, knowing that it was a publicity stunt and nothing else, agreed to the match on the condition that it would not be at the next WCW pay-per-view (as Bischoff wanted), but that it would be in an empty parking lot devoid of cameras. Bischoff ignored this, and when the pay-per-view rolled around, the "match" took place, with Bischoff being declared the winner via no-show.

Combat by Champion / int_72f3e556	comment	The protagonist of Envoy from the Heavens learns that Osieran rhapsods are more than just Wandering Minstrels. When the need arises (usually, a nobleman, who has done something really bad and refuses any warnings to stop), they take up arms and reveal themselves to be extremely capable warriors. When they reach the nobleman's estate, it typically results in a duel between the highest-ranking rhapsod in the party and the evildoer (no nobleman would refuse a duel, as it's a matter of honor). Should the rhapsod die, then the next in line would fight the nobleman in a day or so. If the entire party is thus wiped out, then the next party will be five times as large... and will not be taking prisoners. This also means that the soldiers and servants of the nobleman in question do their best to stay out of the rhapsods' way, unwilling to be slaughtered.

Combat by Champion / int_75149ccd	comment	Mentioned but averted in two books of the X-Wing Series. In The Krytos Trap, Wedge accepts a challenge to a ritualistic knife duel with Tal'dira, which Wedge, as a short pilot, knew he would likely have trouble with. It turns out to be merely a test of Wedge's resolve (and that of the merchant who was attempting to deal with Wedge), and the challenge is nullified soon after. In Starfighter of Adumar, Wedge reflects that he'd be fine with flying against and killing a champion, be he Imperial or Adumari, to decide the planet's allegiance, but instead he's expected to fly against bad Adumari pilots and kill them for "honor", which is weighed against how the Imperials do. "Bad Cartannese pilots" is right. No formation discipline, almost no simulated-weapons drills or flight simulators, and a "combat equals honor" mentality that leads to top pilots dying in droves. Not all of the Adumari are poor pilots (although not up to galactic standards by any means), but the Cartannese were truly duel-happy maniacs.

The catch: the Beholder enforcing the duel casts a Geas spell on both groups, so that whichever champion that fails causes their entire party to die instantly. The Beholder himself, who is on the side of the Drow, does not die, having had the good sense not to include himself in the spell. Then you chat with him for a while. He's really quite pleasant.

The winning officer usually captures the loser, with the loser's unit routing with their commander gone. Usually it's damn near impossible to get the computer to duel unless it believes it will obviously win or else has no chance to win in continued combat. Usually, declining to duel damages morale. Similar duels also take place in Dynasty Warriors, which is based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, but annoyingly only at the computer's discretion. Players cannot initiate them. The computer is more willing to initiate them in this series, however. Declining still hurts player morale. Other Koei games feature this, like Celtic Tales: The Balor of Evil Eye and Uncharted Waters: New Horizons.

Combat by Champion / int_90e2f673	comment	The Clans in BattleTech have built an entire system and protocol revolving around Combat by Champion. Because of their emphasis on individual honor and glory, there's a strong tendency for opposing factions to "bid" down their forces to the minimum practical amount, selecting a few of their best warriors who meet in a proxy battlefield called the "Circle of Equals". Pretty much every big dispute in Clan life is ultimately solved by a few champions killing each other to decide who's right. These battles are known as Trials, with various types. Trials of Position have Clan warriors fighting for rank, Trials of Possession have Clans fighting for a place or resource, Trials of Refusal have one Clan disputing the actions of another, etc. During the early months of their invasion of the Inner Sphere, they even try this with Inner Sphere forces. The IS factions, not being Proud Warrior Race Guys like the Clans, of course lie about what the number and disposition of their forces. The Inner Sphere takes full advantage of the Clans' honor and naivety at every turn. There were two major exceptions, though: ComStar declared and won the Trial of Possession for Earth against the Clans fair and square; and when the IS finally arrived at the Clans' doorstep, Victor Steiner-Davion declared a Trial of Refusal against the Clans invading the Inner Sphere, and also won that fairly, which ended the Clan Invasion.

If Hircine is not participating directly in one of his hunts, he will usually appoint a lesser Daedra (such as the Herne Egahirn in Battlespire) or a great were-beast to do the hunting instead. According to the 16 Accords of Madness, Hircine and Sheogorath agreed to a battle in this fashion. Each would choose a champion, and the two champions would battle. Hircine infected an ancient Daedroth with lycanthropy to serve as his champion. Sheogorath chose...a song bird. Hircine's champion ends up blinding itself and tearing itself apart while struggling to hit the song bird. In the backstory, King Joile of Daggerfall convinced Gaiden Shinji, the legendary Redguard hero and leader of the Order of Diagna, to join him in the Siege of Orsinium (the home city-state/fortress of the Orcs). Joile then convinced Shinji, the Blademaster and founder of the Imperial City Arena, to participate in a Combat By Champion Duel to the Death against the Orc leader, Baloth Bloodtusk. As Shinji and Baloth were fighting, Joile ordered his archers to open fire on both of them. As it turned out, Joile not only wanted to sack Orsinium, but planned to invade Hammerfell after and knew that Shinji would have been a major obstacle. (Joile would get his comeuppance, dying during what would be a failed invasion of Hammerfell.) In Morrowind, to get his support in the Great House Hlaalu questline, you must defeat councilor Dram Bero's champion in the Vivec arena. Naturally, you have no choice but to represent yourself.

Combat by Champion / int_9d47a2a2	comment	A Song of Ice and Fire features a few, in addition to trials by combat. In the main series, this is treated as an outdated method, and is proposed several times, but repeatedly rejected, sometimes because one side feels they have a better chance of winning in actual battle, sometimes because one side doesn't believe that the agreement would be honored. The only time we see such a combat happen is during the siege of Mereen, and it was never suggested that it would resolve the conflict, it was just a display to show which side had the better warrior. Although not shown, Ironborn warrior Ser Harras Harlaw takes Grimston castle by challenging any warrior inside to defeat him in single combat. After he defeats seven (a holy number) those besieged surrendered because the Gods had spoken (i.e. their morale was shattered and this was a face-saving way to quit). In "The Sworn Sword," the water dispute between Ser Eustace and the Red Widow is resolved by a combat by champion. Dunk fights for Eustace and Ser Lucas fights for Lady Rohanne.

However this cultural ideal quickly becomes a weakness during and after the Conflux, as the other shard's inhabitants do not follow this trope. The card Dueling Grounds imposes this by allowing only one creature to attack and block each turn. The Archenemy scheme Choose Your Champion also fits as well. This is basically what the Dragons Maze on Ravnica was. All 10 Guilds had to choose a champion or 'Maze Runner' and whoever could either survive to the end or reach the end first (with the other Champions trying to kill eachother) would have their Guild essentially become the rulers of Ravnica. Luckily for everyone (and unluckily for a few guilds) the Guildless Planeswalker Jace Beleren won. Much to rival Planeswalker and Izzet Champion Ral Zereks disappointment.

Daario wins in a Curbstomp Battle that lasts a few seconds. The actual impact of the fight is that it convinces the slaves of Meereen that with Dany's help they can rebel and gain their freedom. When meeting before the Battle of Winterfell, Jon Snow offers to fight Ramsay Bolton one-on-one in order to reduce the amount of bloodshed. Ramsay, who has the numbers advantage, does not take the offer. He hypocritically asks for it when he's finally defeated, though he uses a bow instead of a sword. Jon, being more honorable, briefly entertains him by catching the arrows on his shield until he's close enough to give him some Extreme MÃªlÃ©e Revenge.

Achilles wins the ensuing fight without even breaking stride. Subverted by Paris and Menelaus. Paris flees the fight and Hector interferes and kills Menelaus. The battle was pointless anyway, as pretty much everyone except Paris point out the invading army would attack whatever the outcome. Menelaus at least claims he's doing it to regain his honor, which was sullied when Paris took his wife.

Combat by Champion / int_bff01809	comment	Warhammer: Meanwhile, units with special characters can have them challenge opposing units's special characters. If they win, the chance of the opposing side breaking off and fleeing shoots way up. The Warriors of Chaos have to make a challenge if they can, because their reason for fighting is to impress their gods — doing so is much easier by hacking down lords and masters instead of Mooks. And even if they didn't have to, they probably would anyway unless really, really seriously outclassed, because they get special bonuses for shredding enemy leaders in single combat — besides the obvious benefit of scaring the crap out of the other side, who watch trembling as the psychopath in the horned helmet brutally eviscerates their leader. Bretonnians from Warhammer Fantasy are a very special example of this trope. Since they are knights in shiny armor, they are expected to meet their enemy in duel. Latest armybook gives them Virtue that forces them to challenge and an magic item that forces enemies to accept challenges. Combine them and you have a knight who never lives to kill other heroes. The Chaos character Wulfrik the Wanderer once made a Blasphemous Boast that resulted in him being made immortal and an omniglot by the Dark Powers, who now wanders the world in his flying ship to challenge any worthy warriors to single combat. The gift of languagues is so that he can insult them in their native tongue, enraging the enemy to the point where they can't refuse the challenge.

The conflict is settled in this trope's manner. The chieftain is too old to fight, so he's allowed to select a champion to fight in his place (read: one of your party).

In its early days, the planet didn't rotate in the right fashion to support life, so the two largest Kryptonian tribes each selected a champion to decide who would have access to the last bits of food and water. During the fight, their weapons got tangled in a way that helped them discover a means of altering the planet's rotation, thus turning the planet into a paradise. In "Revolution in San Monte", the Man of Steel ends a war in South America by abducting the chief general of both sides and ordering them to settle the issue between themselves. At which point it gets revealed that neither side has anything against the other and the war was started by munitions companies to up their sales. The generals shake hands and the war ends. In Superman & Batman: Generations, two Epsilon Eridaniites are looking for a suitable champion among the two they have seen on Earth — Superman and Batman — to help defeat the Borta, and enlist the aid of the World's Finest nuisances, Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite, to test both of them out. However, to ensure that it would be a fair fight, Mxyzptlk must test out Batman while Bat-Mite tests out Superman. Eventually, the heroes convince the Eridaniites to choose Mxyzptlk and Bat-Mite to be their champions instead. In "Superman vs. Muhammad Ali", an alien race offers to pit their greatest champion against Earth's, winner take all. To decide Earth's champion, Superman and Muhammad Ali had to face each other in a planet orbiting a red sun to take away Superman's powers and make it fair. After Ali won, he faced the alien's champion in the ring. Ali won, but the aliens dishonorably tried to invade Earth anyway, only for Superman to reveal he anticipated their treachery and sabotaged their fleet. In Adventure Comics #412, Supergirl is chosen by the ruler of planet Liquel II to be her champion:

Part of the back story of Suikoden II involves a duel between the champion of Highland, Han Cunningham, and the one of the City States of Jowston, Genkaku (who is Riou and Nanami's adopted grandfather), to end the long war between the two nations. Which turns out to be just one of many temporary ceasefires between them. In Suikoden V, who the Crown Princess of Falena marries is determined by a tournament. Generally, the nobles don't fight themselves, sending champions or other representatives in their place. The current queen's husband, Ferid, shook things up by representing himself and winning; during the game's early Inevitable Tournament, Belcoot hopes to do the same. Despite the Big Bad's own champion being incredibly strong, Belcoot proves formidable enough that the villains drug him before the fight just to be sure. Late in the game, the hero has the option of either dueling said champion himself or letting one of the gladiators he's befriended (including Belcoot) do it for him. While technically this is still combat by champion, it's also a grudge match for all four of them, given that the Big Bad's champion is a particularly vile person with a penchant for Kick the Dog.

Later, in The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Reepicheep the mouse wants to challenge a dragon opposing to crew to single combat. Despite it comprising the entire enemy "side" in the anticipated battle. This kind of request from Reepicheep is apparently common enough for Caspian to predict it before Reepicheep has a chance to ask.

Once you get to him, you may still have to fight a few more of his grunts to fully earn his respect. You then can either fight the Arishok and his guards (with your entire squad) or just you and the Arishok. Fittingly, after this fight, you are henceforth known as the Champion of Kirkwall.

However, the horde has no intentions of keeping the bargain so no matter which way the duel ends, they will invade Vanna. The heroes suspect as much so they use the duel as a means to distract and stall the demons long enough to free the demons' captives and hopefully catch the horde by surprise and perhaps assassinate a few of the demon commanders while they're at it.

In the film's universe, every ten years the best swordsman in China faces the best in Japan in a competition for the pride of their nations, presumably as an alternative to actual warfare. This time, however, the Japanese government has a plan to use the competition as a stepping stone to starting an actual war later, although the plan is foiled in part by Hashimoto, the stubbornly honorable Japanese representative.

Since Anne has the advantage of a Super Mode, Andrias levels the playing field by showing up in a Humongous Mecha and aiming to stall her until she runs out of power. It almost works, but the discovery of a letter from his former companion Lief completely destroys his will to fight and he allows Anne to win, calling the invasion off.

The Backstory has one between Rana Sanga and Raghunath Rao that made them both famous. Then Rana Sanga (again) and Valentinian has one in part 4, Fortune's Stroke as well, lasting for an entire chapter, though most of it explores the symbology and psychology of the fight. The duel is also supposed to be a diversion so that Belisarius's army can retreat while the Rajputs are occupied with the fight. The Rajputs know this but their society is based on Honor Before Reason so they to watch the fight and do not interfere. It is clear that the duel will be the stuff of legends and all of them want to be there to witness it.

The first uses a mace and chain, which is understandably quite difficult for a knight with a sword and shield to beat (Horace wins by letting the mace get stuck in his shield and lets it get ripped away. When his opponent is distracted for a second, Horace strikes the fatal blow). The second has a cohort of his slip a drug into the water to impair Horace's vision, and then when Will accuses said cohort of doing this, that matter is solved by an archery trial by combat. The bad guy cheats, but Will anticipates that and wins.
