Weaknesses

Continual damage to his Aura will cause it to decay to the point where he can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack he takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it, they cannot be used until it is recharged (Though in Ironwood's case this only applies to him actively focusing his Semblance, as it is normally continually passively active). His Semblance is a double-edged sword, gradually making him extremely paranoid even of those closest to him or those who are trying to help him. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.

Ranked tied for #8 of 99 in RWBY by strength.
