There are different colors of attacks with hierarchy. The lowest attack is white with the standard attacks. Then comes the purple ones which have some sort of special effect associated with them. Next is gold attacks which are more like white attacks but it beats purple attacks.

Last and the top most are blue attacks, which are defensive moves like protecting and dodge.
