Level-headed monk with an indomitable will.
A monk and squadron leader from the kingdom of Fabul. He is the strongest monk in his nation and possesses a polite personality, making him quite popular among his people. Yang is attacked by monsters while training on Mt. Hobs and is saved by Ceil’s party. He joins them after learning that his country’s crystal is in danger. After the battle for the Wind Crystal, Yang continues to adventure with Cecil’s party and helps them overcome innumerable hardships. Yang’s personality is both serious and strict, but he is no match for his short-tempered wife.
-Taken from the Ultimania
After much training and trying to dodge his wife’s frying pan, Yang is ready for your decks.
2-090R – Yang
Yang, an 8000 power Forward that will gain more power with each additional Monk that is on the field. From Backups to Standard Units, you name it. Each Monk gives Yang +1000 power. And, if Yang’s power becomes more than 10,000 Yang will also gain Brave.
Sure, the 5CP you need to play Yang is a bit high, but you’ll be getting a nearly unstoppable Forward that will be wheeling and dealing damage throughout the entire game.
Simply put, just add Monks.
“Uhh…is it time for training already? Let me sleep a little longer.”
2-091C – Yang
The second Yang from Opus II.
This Yang plays like the other Yang, but slightly different.
If there is another Monk, Yang gains 2000 power and Brave. And, that’s it.
Yes, you can only raise Yang’s power once by 2000, but this Yang only costs 2CP compared to the 5CP of the Rare Yang.
Is this better?
Probably not, you’ll much rather spend an extra 3CP to play the other Yang.
“I see. Then I will most humbly accept whatever help you are willing to provide.”
3-095R – Yang
This is more like it.
Yang gains +1K and Brave if you control Ursula. Who’s Ursula? Yang’s daughter, but you’ll only see her in The After Years. Or was she a baby during the events of Final Fantasy IV?
Nope, she is first seen during Final Fantasy IV Interlude. But, we’re not here to talk about that.
When Yang enters the field, you can play Ursula from your hand on to the field. You’ll probably want to grab Ursula (11-064L) which will allow you to grab a 2 cost Monk from your Break Zone and play it onto the field. If you get lucky on turn 1, you can have 3 cards on the field for a whopping 4CP.
Then there’s Kick. Yang’s ability from Final Fantasy IV, where Yang does a Flying Kick to all the enemies, dealing them all damage which equals to half of Yang’s power.
This might be your starting point for a Monk’s deck.
“Ooh, time for training!”
5-095H – Yang
5CP for Hero Yang.
This time if you control 5 or more Earth Characters Yang gains +1ooo power and Brave. This is already not as good as the previous Yangs that we have seen.
The only saving grace to this card is that Yang cannot become dull by your opponent’s Summons of abilities.
Other than that, Yang is just a glorified Meat Shield.
With Brave.
“It has been an honor fighting with you.”
9-075R – Yang
Yang comes on and gives another Forward +2000 power and Brave. If that Forward is a Monk, it will also deal damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards equal to that Monk’s power.
After that Yang once again stays on the front line as a Meat Shield.
At least the artwork is good on this card.
Other than that, you’ll probably want to save that 4CP, and play something else.
“Achoooooooooooooo!”
13-064R – Yang
“If you’re playing Mon…. I already said that. Yang will give your Monks a boost.
High powered Forwards with Brave. Add Enna Kros (1-095R) and they will have an extra 1K.
I saw that Monks already took first place, and Yang was a part of that. ”
That’s what I wrote when Opus XIII came out.
At 1 point of damage Yang comes in, and you play a Monk from your hand. Which could be Ursula as we mentioned before, letting you grab a Monk from the Break Zone and playing it onto the field.
At 3 points of damage, Yang gives all the Monks +1000 power and Brave, making them all unstoppable .. Almost unstoppable.
“Lure the enemies here, then… Smash ’em!”
