Weaknesses

Hot-headed. According to the writers Yang has slight difficulty against those who kick more often than not [However, this is only a minor inconvenience that hasn't resulted in any significant issues in combat]. Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she 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. | Same weaknesses related to her Aura. Suffers from PTSD from losing her arm [Which manifests as her left arm shaking]. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.

Ranked tied for #9 of 99 in RWBY by strength.
