# Manoeuvres

We like to move it, move it.

As with statistics, on registration, each Brawler is assigned default manoeuvres for their specific collection (again Pudgies vary to Apes in default manoeuvres for example). Each Brawler collection has a number of unique manoeuvres exclusive to that collection, representing trademark and finishing manoeuvres. Brawlers are able to learn additional manoeuvres available to them by spending XP and $BB. The XP cost for learning manoeuvres is a calculation of the move difficulty multiplied by a base rate. Not all manoeuvres are available to all Brawlers, even those that are not necessarily trademark moves. For example, a Sumo learning a triple backflip splash is not likely to be possible.

Each BaseBrawl manoeuvre is compiled using the below attributes

| Attribute                  | Description                                                                                                                                                                    |
