If you wore the Armor of the Fallen set, and used a level 1 Dark Reprisal bomb in a fiend danger room, would the damage be reduced so far that it would be harmless?
Can you do no damage?

It might be technicaly possible, but no, you'd need something else than fiends and fallen set.

I see this being slightly possible with a shadowtech alchemer unheated and unupgraded. Do it in a Stratum 6 Poison Fiend Arena.
Then, maybe...

@Alynn
Shadow damage does do damage to Vana.

Yeah
5TH stage vana ignores shadow.
The minumum damage otherwise should be 1... Poison, damage reduction, the wrong damage type and the wrong depth for a weapon could add up to zero, but it'd be hard to even test, but it'll probably cap at 1... Maybe the 2* shadow blender bomb at depth 28 poison fiend level with the fallen set? Is that even worth trying for a laugh, though?
( I think is is, but I don't have a fallen set. :P)

I've heard conflicting
I've heard conflicting reports about shadow vs vana, but never had the patience to actually try it.

Tried it yesterday
I've been using the DR for vana for phases 1 and 3. I can confirm stage 5, he ignores shadow damage. It does the same thing as attacks on trojan shields, or Royal Jelly when he's in "angry spinning" mode.
"Tinktinktinktinktinktink" :P

So rather than "0 damage"
So rather than "0 damage" it's actually "blocking" attacks.
Still not sure if this is a bug or intentional.

Right
You are correct, but I'm sure it's intentional.
It kind of makes sense for vana to ignore shadow damage at some point, if not the whole fight. Though having him ignore it for the whole fight would be kind of mean (not that anyone other than me uses shadow weapons for FSC regularly.)

It doesn't make sense that
It doesn't make sense that he'd ignore it only in the final stage.
Besides, what other enemy in the entire game is immune to only one specific damage type, at all types (not just when shielding)?
The penalties are percentage-based.
