And Pyrrha was always using her semblance to pull her weapon back to her and such, that is relying on it. In fact she might have used her semblance in every fight she has been in. Yang probably has to though, was mainly just pointing out that she isn't the only one to always activate her semblance. But I am confused, if you use semblance your aura goes down right. Like how Suns did in the new episode. So wouldn't using your semblance at all be a risk? Most other people's Semblances don't involve letting people beat you up, and it seems that, as long as someone doesn't push themselves beyond their current capabilities, their Semblance doesn't actually use too much Aura (like pushing yourself too hard working out can lead to fatigue and muscle weakness - you pushed beyond your current capability).

Yang's fighting style being imperfect is honestly a good thing because it gives her a place to grow, develop, and improve herself. She gets to have some character growth in volume 4 specifically because she was previously relying too much on her strategy of "Getting my ass kicked is my trump card to throw it back at them twofold." It worked in some fights, but it's not a win-all strategy, as evidenced by Neo and Adam.

Now that Tai has pointed out that her doing that too much is a flaw in her fighting style, she can learn how to have other strategies to use against people that her Semblance isn't as useful against.
