Dark Sight + Dark Attribute & Throwing Star Skills
Referenced from Nox, Fatalyz, and jlijlij
Dark Sight can only ignore falling debris such as from bosses like Magnus meteors, Pierre hats, Vellum rocks, Papulatus falling clocks, and Lotus demolishers. There are several %Max HP attacks that can be ignored, for example, Magnus spin attack, Crimson Queen's DoT flame, and Damien falling yellow/red meteors
Some example of other attacks that can be avoided include, Gollux reverse key bomb (debuff still applies but no damage or stun is taken), Magnus stun smoke, Damien p2 full map attack, webs in Will p2, and enemy touch damage. Most non-debris one-shots cannot be avoided. For example, Vellum's tail attack and head pop, Von Bon's orb projectile and Crimson Queen's flame breath
All direct attacks from newer bosses such as Lotus, Damien, Lucid and Will are unavoidable
Dark Attribute
All of Night Walker's attacks are dark-attribute including clones and bats. In 4th Job, successful dark-attribute attacks reduce the cooldown of Dark Omen is reduced whenever a Dark-attribute attack hits an enemy.
