It's the player character skill known as:
I bludgeon it to death with a heropoint!*
Spare Heropoints are good for players to use. In a sense, they can serve as a one use, non-renewable, fetish of some kind. Of course, in this case, it does lead the game master trying to figure out the result of a crit vs crit contest result.
Of course, in a player mook versus Harrek contest, if the mook has 5 HP and says, "I spend my 5 hp to win!", nothing prevents your game master from replying:
Harrek's first blow takes your legs off at the knee. This is a good
thing because now you're too short for his back swing to do any more
then
give you a haircut. Congratulations, surviving is victory... Shorty.
(And in this case, Harrek is going from A -> C. You're just a short B.)
