Video game characters that cannot attack Videogame

Is there a trope for playable characters in a video game that are completely incapable of attacking or otherwise fighting back against their enemies, and have no other choice but to avoid them?

Actual Pacifist (refuses to use violence)

Non-Action Guy (not morally against violence, but has insufficient skills to even scratch the opponents he faces, so why bother trying?)

Also related, Run or Die, where any "fighting back" is just to help with the running part and is not a permanent solution.
