Numerous duel-related cards allow ways to thrust before a duel begins or lower the Ka of an opponent in a duel. Such cards work normally with Duel of Wits, and can possibly result in a dead opponent from the Duel of Wits if they lower Ka to 0. Death by this manner results in a Buried Hero, but also a successful Duel of Wits.

Note that since Milk of the Scorpion just sets your Ka to be equal to your Influence, Milk of the Scorpion won't have much effect on a Duel of Wits, which is fought with Influence in the first place (although Milk of the Scorpion will manage to kill off a 0Influence duelist in a Duel of Wits).
