Does clicking when being attacked help block chance?

Question

When I'm attacked in Puzzle Quest 2, I've found that I tend to click the mouse button right when the hit lands (a habit likely formed by Super Mario RPG). I've found that I block attacks more often when I click the mouse than when I don't, but this isn't mentioned anywhere in the introduction.

Am I just experiencing a placebo effect, or does pressing the mouse actually help with block attempts?

Answer

Probably not.

There is no mention of this functionality in any of the official tutorials or documentation for PQ2, or anywhere else. All attack and defense success rates are based on your character's stats. Also, this functionality would be difficult to replicate on other platforms such as DS (where would I tap)?
