Probability algorithm by percentage

Question

Suppose we have a class called "Archer"

class Archer {
   var Name : String
   var Spirit : Double
   init(Name : String, Spirit: Double){
      self.Name = Name
      self.Spirit = Spirit
   }

}

And we will make two archers

var Hawkeye = Archer(Name : "Hawkeye", Spirit : 70.00)
var Legolas = Archer(Name : "Logolas", Spirit : 50.00)

We let them duel, and the rule is:

The bigger someones Spirit the more probability he will attack at first in every turn until someone die.

The question is: how to make an algorithm to make a fair fight according to their Spirit?

Please define specifically what you mean be "best" and "fair" — Feldur, Jul 26 '16 at 05:19

Generate a random number between 1 and the total SPIRIT in the fight (70 + 50 = 120 in your example). If the random number is less than or equal to the spirit of player one then player one attacks first, otherwise player 2 attacks first.
