So, you would become very very resistant to direct damage, such as slashes, stabs, and probably shots, and to a lesser extent Dust attacks (depending on how they are done), but would still receive normal damage from indirect damage such as the burns caused by a fireball.

Although, I wonder why grapples and throws wouldn't count as direct damage. I mean, in the 2nd's case, the damage would be taken from whatever you land in, no? And that would be pretty direct. You wouldn't take much damage from the throw, maybe, but the damage you take from whatever you land on would be pretty direct, which would make it not deal much damage thanks to the Semblance. And grapples wouldn't be too different.

And I say "very very resistant" because immunity to direct blows would just be OP.
