You use something appropriate like Brave. The Sprit Combat skill is only used to Initiate challenges.
Now, what I do is allow the heroes to do unrelated actions that will at least help them (if thye are really up the creek) or I allow them to continue the contest using their most appropriate skill.
AFAIC, Spirit Combat is used for taking the fight to the spirit. If the spirit disengages from the combat and you don't have the Spirit Combat skill, it gets away to lick its wounds or inflict itself on another victim.
