Personally, I think people overexaggerate Yang's Semblance.

For one thing, Yang tanking the Paladin's punch is just the Worf Effect. They just needed to show it to end the fight sooner. I like to think that she was barely holding on after tanking that hit. After all, if the Paladins can easily be defeated by Huntresses in training, what good would they be against the Grimm?

And the best way to think of Yang's Semblance is like this. Her Semblance allows her to absorb hits to make her stronger but NOT TOUGHER. Her durability is still the same.

So why doesn't she just use it in the beginning of a battle and win? Because, Semblances are fueled by Aura. So, she can lose Aura if no one hits her.

So, there are like two ways to defeat her in a fight. When she activates her Semblance, keep on hitting her more and more and keep dodging her attacks. She'll keep on running out of Aura and then she's finished.

Another way to defeat her is by bait and switch. When she activates her Semblance, just don't hit her. Keep dodging She only gets dtronger if you hit her. And then when she has o turn her Semblance off to conserve Aura, attack her. Rinse and repeat.

So there. This shows that Yang's Semblance doesn't make her invincible.
