Hey guys!

So I did receive a lot of requests to re-test tai/nin pen stats since 5.0 came out because people thought it might've changed something (but was a bit lazy to re-test :p)

And this morning I heard an interesting theory that tai/nin pen might only work if you have lower atk/nin than your enemies def/res so I thought I might as well finally get around to re-testing it

I had to remove my weapon/scroll equipment and assist link cards and atk/nin 8 gates in order to get my atk/nin around 3k lower than my enemies def/res stats

My stats:

My enemy stats:

So I was Lightning Main with just anbu tactics buff and he was Earth Main with the +40% def +20% res buff passive (if that means something)

With tai/nin pen 8 gates:

Non-crit: 983, 873, 819, 770, 894, 875, 884, 837, 818, 859, 905, 895

Average = 10412 / 12 = 867,6666

Crit: 1573, 1590, 1557, 1585, 1450, 1551, 1562, 1503, 1541, 1561, 1473, 1555

Average = 18501 / 12 = 1541,75

Without tai/nin pen 8 gates:

Non-crit: 854, 937 , 874, 824, 870, 912, 790, 869, 894, 923, 941, 886

Average: 10574 / 12 = 881,16666

Crit: 1490, 1581, 1480, 1503, 1546, 1462, 1464, 1504, 1571, 1561, 1505, 1535

Average = 18202 / 12 = 1516,8333

So yeah, without tai/nin pen 8 gates there was a bit higher average in non-crit attacks and a bit smaller in crit attacks, but I wouldn't think much of it since it's just variation of damage because of only 12 attacks taken into consideration
