"The Red Viper does not kneel to attack an opponent who controls more characters than you"
Player A attacks player B with Red Viper. Player B controls more characters than Player A, so Red Viper does not kneel to attack. Then player B uses crown title to redirect the attack. Player C is the only legal target for Player A. Player C controls less (or the same number) characters than Player A.
Question: Does Red Viper kneel? Or is he already locked in the attack and only target changes without affecting attacking characters (kneeling Red Viper in this case)?
