Can a Dupe or other Save effect save a character from being killed by a strength reduction effect?
(Example: Can a character with 2 strength and a duplicate on them discard the duplicate to save vs a Flame Kissed (Core)
You cannot attempt the save a character from a terminal effect unless the save also removes the character from the terminal effect at the same time. So a character hit with a strength reduction which kills them at 0 would need to be saved by a card which would also increase its strength.
In the example above the 2 STR character could not discard the duplicate to save itself from being killed. The character would be killed and the duplicate would go to the discard pile. Cards like Risen from the Sea (KotS) would be required to save against this type of character removal.
