A blackhole might bother it, depending on the shearing forces.  Any Storm Knight is likely to, er, not survive such conditions.  Pretty much, the only thing I think capable of damaging one DD is another DD.  Or possibly a (very) potent Eternity Shard.

It probably won't even go through its repertoire of favorites by the time the SKs are gibbering, catatonic, or otherwise defeated.

 I think the best roll I have ever seen with cards playing was the
party tricking a Darkness Device. They nearly got a players call on
it.. used all their cards and had a roll over 120. The trick was to
not use possibilities but action, supporter, presence and similar
cards. Sadly they had no glory card (they had discarded it for a
presence card.) Thus I learned that a DD's strategy should always be
to at least Stymie the players so that they are more limited in what
they can do.
