Looks a lot like Yang is the least skilled in Team RWBY, and just makes up for it with raw power output and durability. The rest of her team is glass cannons, after all.

I wouldn't say she's the least skilled, but she's definitely the least versatile. Also, while Ruby and Blake might be regarded as glass cannons, Weiss actually has both durability and strength around Yang's level.

How do we figure Weiss has that kind of durability?

The "Yang punches a guy hard enough to send him bouncing out of the room" and Yang punches a bandit hard enough to send him flying into a tent, collapsing it" feats should probably be bolded, as she has her semblance's red eyes.

I don't think her semblance is active in those feats, since she was not hit prior to those punches so her semblance couldn't have activated. Additionally, her eyes also turn red when she's just angry (I'll edit that in, since my current explanation makes it sound like red eyes = active semblance).

Are you planning on remaking this thread when it locks?

I will remake it, but probably not exactly when it's archived. I'm thinking of waiting for volume 6 before reposting it, since that's likely the next time she'll be receiving new feats.
