Kind of makes me curious, though. What would happen if someone was a late bloomer on their Semblance like Jaune is and they had already forged their weapon and developed their fighting style, only to find that their Semblance doesn't perfectly suit their fighting style? What would they do? Some unlucky one will have issues with it. Fortunately, the Reflection semblance fits Jaune's fighting style. Specifically his large shield.

I really like this theory because it's fitting for a pragmatic fighter like Jaune. For instance, picture the main cast fighting Adam and Jaune lures the guy into using his ultimate move "Moonslash" (I think that was the name) against him or someone he can get in front of quickly. Then he activates his semblance and Adam is the one who gets cut in half.

It could be like a very useful trump card but only in specific moments which would force Jaune to come up with an strategy to use it. Basically it's not exploitable. It wouldn't give Jaune an easier time, he'd have to find a way to make his semblance useful.

I know some people are saying he could be a tank but recall that this is RWBY. Most fighters can deliver 50 hits in ten seconds so tanking in Remnant is suicidal. Even with a deflection semblance it's only a matter of time before you're KO'd without having done anything but taking hits.
