Yang's semblance could be a little weirdly passive; a theory I saw was that while Yang can only build her meter while her aura is still active, she can activate it at any time. Basically, what damage she takes while she has aura goes towards her strength boost, but once she has no more aura she doesn't get any stronger. Meanwhile, actually using the strength boost is activatable when she doesn't have aura.
