Can A.I. 'passively' respond to attacks?

Hi Buggy,

I applaud your steadfast progress in this game.

Ducky statistics screens show that you are now much closer to the 50% + 1 star for absolute victory.

Of course, you could keep going by KO’ing the remaining AI players.
Just Abandon 1 star per day,… Low value ones that you do not want to keep.
