In RWBY, Yang's Semblance allows her to tank the damage she receives and then use it to amplify the effectiveness of her attacks. This alone is fairly powerful, however once she has taken enough damage she enters a empowered state, marked by literal flames in her hair. In this empowered state, she becomes incredibly fast, and powerful. It is likened by her father, Taiyang, to a temper tantrum. Though it may be similar to a childish tantrum, the effectiveness of her Semblance is ''not'' to be underestimated as she has used it to take down ''significantly'' larger and more powerful foes, such as RWBY-universe top of the line piloted mecha. | In RWBY, Yang's Semblance allows her to tank the damage she receives and then use it to amplify the effectiveness of her attacks.

When her health drops to the "Danger!!" point, she enters her empowered state, complete with flaming hair. While in this state, many of Yang's moves become buffed significantly. Most notably, all of Yang's punch normals and some of her special moves gain an extra hit(s). While these hits are still affected by damage scaling, these hits do not add on any additional damage scaling to Yang's combos. This gives Yang some of the highest damage normals out of the entire roster. | ||
The following moves gain buffs while Yang is in Semblance: | |||
* 5A: Gains a larger hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* 5AA: Gains a larger horizontal hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* 5B: Gains a larger horizontal hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* 5BB: Gains a larger vertical hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* 2B: Gains a larger vertical hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* j.B: Gains a larger hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* j.BB/J.AA: Gains a larger hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* j.C: Gains an additional hit upon landing. | |||
* Rising Fire: Gains increased frame advantage on hit. Gains additional hits. | |||
* Raging Inferno: Gains increased damage. | |||
* Cold Shoulder: Gains increased frame advantage on hit and increased damage. | |||
* Perfect Bombshell: Gains increased damage. | |||
* Strawberry Sunrise: Gains a larger vertical hitbox and an additional hit. | |||
* Burning Gold: Gains increased damage. | |||
* Unrelenting Fire: Gains increased damage. | |||

Mostly combo and potentially pressure filler. Because of Yang's average run speed and general lacking range, she will often whiff 5BB at 5B's max-range leaving her open to being punished. As a result, caution must be exercised with 5BB, making sure to both cancel into it at appropriate ranges, and cancel out of it if blocked. | |||
If armoring through something with greater active frames and invuln than 5B, continuing into 5BB provides further invuln that generally takes care of the rest. | |||
While auto-piloting into 5BB is not advised since it can be punished if whiffed or push-blocked, when 5B armors through an attack, there is a very slight pause, with this pause being repeated for multi-hit attacks. If wary of this pause, it can be used as a way to be sure 5B's armor is active and confirm into 5BB. | |||

Yang gains armor against body attribute attacks once she gets moving, giving her a valuable tool to approach her opponent in certain situations, especially when covered by an assist call. If cancelled into from a blocked normal, Burst of Embers can function as a simple frame trap that also helps counter predictable Reject Guards. On counter hit, Burst of Embers is +6, allowing you to convert into a combo by linking into 5A. Burst of Embers is -1 on regular hit and -4 on block, so you give up any further pressure in most cases unless you perform one of its followups or you're covered by an assist call. Since Burst of Embers does not have armor against foot or head attribute attacks, it should also not be thrown out haphazardly or during situations where you could easily be hit during the startup. | ||

Semblance: Rage
In RWBY, Yang's Semblance allows her to tank the damage she receives and then use it to amplify the effectiveness of her attacks. This alone is fairly powerful, however once she has taken enough damage she enters a empowered state, marked by literal flames in her hair. In this empowered state, she becomes incredibly fast, and powerful. It is likened by her father, Taiyang, to a temper tantrum. Though it may be similar to a childish tantrum, the effectiveness of her Semblance is not to be underestimated as she has used it to take down significantly larger and more powerful foes, such as RWBY-universe top of the line piloted mecha.
Her Semblance makes an appearance in Cross Tag Battle as a passive trait. When her health drops to the "Danger!!" point, she enters her empowered state, complete with flaming hair. While in this state, many of Yang's moves become buffed significantly. Most notably, all of Yang's punch normals and some of her special moves gain an extra hit(s). While these hits are still affected by damage scaling, these hits do not add on any additional damage scaling to Yang's combos. This gives Yang some of the highest damage normals out of the entire roster.
The following moves gain buffs while Yang is in Semblance:
- 5A: Gains a larger hitbox and an additional hit.
- 5AA: Gains a larger horizontal hitbox and an additional hit.
- 5B: Gains a larger horizontal hitbox and an additional hit.
- 5BB: Gains a larger vertical hitbox and an additional hit.
- 2B: Gains a larger vertical hitbox and an additional hit.
- j.B: Gains a larger hitbox and an additional hit.
- j.BB/J.AA: Gains a larger hitbox and an additional hit.
- j.C: Gains an additional hit upon landing.
- Rising Fire: Gains increased frame advantage on hit. Gains additional hits.
- Raging Inferno: Gains increased damage.
- Cold Shoulder: Gains increased frame advantage on hit and increased damage.
- Perfect Bombshell: Gains increased damage.
- Strawberry Sunrise: Gains a larger vertical hitbox and an additional hit.
- Burning Gold: Gains increased damage.
- Unrelenting Fire: Gains increased damage.
