Character variants

Three gymnasts can perform this skill — each calls it by a different name and may unlock it differently.

Lilly	Rootbend	Balance	Coach level 24
Nina	Release Grip	Balance	Coach level 58
Brielle	Smolder Stretch	Balance	Coach level 104

Upgrade cost

Coin cost to level the move from fresh to the rarity’s max level. Coin tables are character-keyed, so per-character values above are what the player pays.

Character	Variant	Total coin	Max level
Lilly	Rootbend	4,310	37
Nina	Release Grip	4,310	37
Brielle	Smolder Stretch	4,310	37

Per-level cost ladder

Each star band spans a run of consecutive levels. Coin cost climbs linearly within a band and jumps at band boundaries. The ladder is identical for all three variants (it’s character + rarity keyed, not per-move), so one table covers Lilly, Nina, and Brielle alike.

Star band	Level range	Coin per level: first → last	Band subtotal
Star 0 → 1	1–4	20 → 35	110
Star 1 → 2	5–12	45 → 80	500
Star 2 → 3	13–22	85 → 130	1,075

Star-up element recipes
