Hahaha, I get you. Personally, I think they will have to get creative, they are giving the main characters the most general semblances. Because Ruby has speed in general, she has a lot possibilities and only needs to get creative to use it in a different way. Weiss has a glyph that can be changed from shape to color and has a lot different attacks because of it. So far, she has like: +10 different attacks thanks of her glyphs.

If Jaune were to have a semblance, I'll go for some kind of Halo energy shielding that can make him inmune to damage and be unfazed by bullets allowing him to fight properly without having to worry about changing from defensive to attack which is his main problem when fighting.

So yeah, all is general. We haven't seen something more specific like the ability to absord kinetic force (taking a bullet and changing it into energy), something that doesn't apply to every situation and can be and advantage when fighting certain enemies.
