When you're out exploring and you come across a boss, you can click Retreat or Fight. If you click Fight, you have to choose attack strength on the next screen. But instead, you can just hit the back button and not fight. Is there any penalty for this?

Same for if you're fielding boss help requests. You can hit Fight and then instead of choosing attack strength, just go back.

Since my ranking is always deteriorating anyway unless I fight to keep it up, I can't tell if I'm being penalized if I say I'll fight and then don't actually fight.

The reason I do that in the first case above is to see if it's a boss worth spending a cube on when I'm short on cubes (don't want to waste a cube on some low-points boss). In the second case, sometimes I just want to see how many people are fighting already, how big the current MVP is, and look at the time left and decide if I want to contribute based on how likely I think it is that the boss will be finished.

I don't think it penalizes me but can't quite tell.

Thanks.
