While most weapons involve using different motions to attack compared to fighting without a weapon, Yang's attacks with a weapon involve the same motion as punching, so she is likely the group member who'd be best off without a weapon, but I wouldn't say she's less reliant on Ember Celica. She also uses recoils to propel her self, she certainly relies on that and would be less capable in a fight without that mobility. Oh, you meant overall combat ability. I was confused. I was just thinking that Yang was perhaps the least reliant on her weapon (and granted, that doesn't say much) because she uses a lot of kicks and a few unarmed punches in her trailer.

But the extra mobility from recoil, that makes total sense. Not disagreeing with you there.
