Hey guys!

Finally took some time to test out as it's been heavily requested

So it was a 1v1 duel fight where we both used Lightning Main and I used the 2nd standard attack with bloodthirsty and anbu tactics buff (because it lasts for whole fight)

The enemy was using calm mind standard, arena prowess

So I just let 2x3 duels play out until the round 10 and I was watching and at same time noting all damage numbers in a notepad

1x3 duels without tai/nin pen 8 Gates

1x3 duels with tai/nin pen 8 Gates

So it was around 1k difference in both tai/nin pen between the tests, I will show you the stats in detail below.

In both examples it was 39 non-crit standard attacks in total noted

Note: skip to end to see results if you don't want to see testing details in middle

Note2: Damage Reduction has nothing to do tai/nin pen, you can see results of my testing in comments below

Average: 31817 / 11 = 2892 damage

Comparison and conclusion:

Average Non-crit damage: 1720 - 1702 = 18 damage difference, WITH Tai/Nin pen it was 18 higher on average in 39 examples (almost 1% difference, which is easy accomplished by damage variety)

Average Crit damage: 2897 - 2892 = 5 damage difference , WITHOUT Tai/Nin pen it was 5 higher on average from mixed examples (0,5% difference, which is nothing)

Conclusion:

Tai/Nin pen either simply don't work or requires a much higher amount than the one we can currently acquire, you can currently count on it as simply a stats that improves your power in number so you can look cooler having more power and nothing else. (and actually surprisingly it gives a lot power especially when compared to stats such as life/def/res, I got +300 more power by removing my +life 8 gates and adding Nin-pen 8 gates)

Hope it helps you guys out and that you enjoyed it! Leave a comment tell me what do you think about this
