He’ll rush into combat with you and won’t wait - be prepared for rapid attacks that can cover a lot of turf. In Phase 2 Yang has much more aggressive. Just make sure to recharge your structure before it breaks completely. If you spam guard during his flurry attacks, you can get lucky and stagger him. He doesn’t have strong tells for most of his attacks, so learning to perfect guard is one of your best defenses. Yang changes up his attacks and combos rapidly.
