no you can pop the tick to gain a guaranteed critical hit on the next attack (building on the Crit-Tick word pun). I had initially planned for the player to be able to rewrite battle history when popping it by selecting a roll of their own to re-roll and voiding everything that happened after it.
I had also planned to tutorialize it a little more, but now I was basically hoping that the voice lines and the spinner below it would be enough.
