*** Detailed Information *** Attack is a damage dealing maneuver.
Attack tends to be a moderately fatiguing maneuver. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.
Attack tends to be balance building.
Attack is a reasonably paced maneuver, but heavy or unbalanced weapons can slow the attack further.
Attack is as accurate as most maneuvers, and is equally suited to puncture, slice, and impact weapons.
Attack temporarily penalizes all defenses, but is equally suited to evasion, parry, and shield defenses.

Table columns in order are:
Verb used to do the maneuver.
Type of maneuver it is.
How much fatigue it uses. Attacking again too soon can make this worse.
To what extent in gains/loses balance.
The accuracy of the maneuver.
The damage stat that this attack most favors.
