So, if she faces someone who's too fast for her to hit, and they keep hitting her over and over again, her Semblance makes her strength keep going up, but her Aura keeps going down, and eventually, she'll run out of Aura and be defeated. I almost mentioned that and what if the enemy is just so strong or tough it doesn't matter. But at that point it really wouldn't matter what ability you have as being outclassed is kind of a thing of its own.

@Thunderbringer From what we've seen, it is almost exactly like Nora's semblance in effect; however, they achieve the same thing in different ways.

Yang powers up by taking damage and getting weaker. Think of it like a Yin-Yang. Because she gets weaker, she balances it out by hitting harder. Thus, there is never a point in which fighting Yang is less dangerous. If she is healthy, she has her full awareness and power. If she's tiring out, all she needs is a lucky hit to start a counter attack.

Nora's power does not have that same aspect. She channels electricity to increase her physical strength. The more electricity she generates or absorbs, the stronger she is. Thus, she can get immense strength, but doesn't have to be hurt to get it. However, she does need some form of electricity around to gain that power. While she is said to be able to generate electricity, that likely consumes her Aura. However, a natural electric source like lightning may be less aura taxing or even free power. Thus, while Yang's weakness is having to be hurt, Nora's is finding an energy source.

The only possible difference is that all of Yang's attacks may increase. By that, I mean projectiles. Look at Never miss a beat. When enraged, Yang's ranged attacks were destroying the arena compared to before. Comparatively, Nora's grenade launcher can simply launch all of the grenades at once by opening the top. A mechanical function as opposed to a Semblance boosting one.

However, if you mean, which one is physically stronger... Hard to say because we don't have any equivalent targets to measure. Not to mention both have a wide range of strength due to how their semblances work. We don't know what the max boost for either fighter as well.
