It's a little bit skill-less because of how effective it is, even when you don't play it particularly well. The only way to outplay it is to use a self-buff or heal on the turn they Reflect.
you can bait the reflect with an ability that won't kill you or attempt to bait it with an empty turn.
This is true, but, when you succeed at this you have only made the Reflection less effective than it could have been--you haven't made it ineffective. E.g. you could fake out a Reflection with a low-damage ability, but they still take 0 damage for the turn and you take >0 damage. If they reflect an empty turn, then you've genuinely neutralized the Reflection, but if you guess wrong you're at a huge disadvantage (you've skipped your turn, they haven't, and Reflection isn't on cd).
When you hit Reflection, you absolutely know that 1) you will not take damage this turn, except from pre-existing debuffs, and 2) you have a high likelihood to deal at least some damage to the opponent, with the potential to reflect something really devastating. The very worst case scenario is that you choose Reflection, and they pass--in this case you come out even.* But the potential upside is huge (e.g. you reflect Power Surge or Geyser or etc.). This makes Reflection a no risk/high reward ability.
* You can genuinely outplay Reflection with Explode or Unholy Ascension, but it's going to be very hard to trick a competent player into reflecting these.
