Overview
"I'm a thrill-seeker. I want to travel around the world and get wrapped up in as many crazy adventures as I can. And if I help people along the way, then that's even better. It's a win-win, y'know?" | |
Lore: | Yang Xiao Long is a former student at Beacon Academy and one of the main protagonists of RWBY. Her weapons of choice are a pair of Dual Ranged Shot Gauntlets, Ember Celica. She made her first appearance in the "Yellow" Trailer, searching for clues regarding the whereabouts of her mother, Raven Branwen, who left her when she was very young. At Beacon, Yang becomes a member of Team RWBY alongside her younger half-sister Ruby Rose, Weiss Schnee and Blake Belladonna. |
Semblance: Burn
In RWBY, Yang's Semblance allows her to tank the damage she receives and then use it to amplify the effectiveness of her attacks.
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. All her armored attacks also change their attribute into guard point, allowing her to plow through enemy attacks without worrying about losing health. Note that although Yang has to be in "Danger!!" state to activate her Semblance, it will remain active even if she then heals above that point.
Playstyle
- Shoto-type (projectile, rush attack, etc) tool kit.
- Semblance buff not only increases attack, but also enhances some of her moves’ damage properties to extend combos and turns her armor into guard point.
- Great fullscreen reversal option in the form of Burning Gold, on par with Azrael’s Black Hawk Stinger.
- High mobility.
- Attacks with copyrighted BGM.
- Armor can save her from bad situations, including DPs and some command grabs.
- Semblance activation when her health gets low is a free pause button that stops oki pressure.
- Semblance buff can only be activated when Yang is in a "danger" state.
- When not empowered, her overall damage is much lower.
- Lacks consistent and strong approach options.
- Normals mostly have short range.
- Takes unscaled damage when hit during her armored moves. Multi-hitting attacks such as susanoo's thunder hand can melt through her health very quickly.
- More as a point than an actual anchor if paired with a character with better anchor potential, despite extremely damaging assists (e.g. Gordeau)
- Can't be streamed on YouTube without a copystrike
