 * Her... HP, so to speak. There's only so much of a beating that she can take. It's worse if she wastes all that energy, such as when she gets angry, or if she uses it all up to take out weaker foes than what's up next. And what happens if she faces someone who can dodge, or somehow deflect, her attacks? They can keep whittling away at her.

For some stupid reason, I actually forgot about Neo when I typed up my very first post to this thread. Neo blocked Yang's attacks. Seeing that screenshot from Painting the Town on Tumblr made me realize that Neo could be a tough opponent for Yang. I was thinking more about Mercury, since Monty said Yang doesn't do well against opponents who mainly fight with their feet.

One of the weaknesses in Yang's semblance is quite simply people she cannot hit. She can keep on using that energy she builds up, but if it doesn't hit her opponent, it's useless, and all she's doing is losing more and more of the precious aura that protects her from injury and death. Neo can block her attacks with her umbrella and apparently form some kind of illusionary wall that looks totally real and distracts her opponent while she can move around to somewhere else.

Neo is possibly a more dangerous opponent for Yang than Mercury.
