I got a Motorola 5 G One in May well from there to now. My battery lost 6 % efficiency I have a MFG Warranty on it. But my question is is it normal wear and tear or not. What gets me is how new the phone is and it dropped so much.

It does depend what have you done with the phone. People have used phones as hotspots 24/7 with charging all the times. Or used them to farm ads money 24/7.
Most likely its just some app you installed that is consuming battery. Google services and apps are biggest drainers.
I did use my old phone as hotspot when i was in college back in 2011 when i had unlimited data....
Some software updates might cause it also, have had issues with that before, phone drains like crazy.
Now i just install Cyanogen OS on my phones. New or old, doesn't matter. For example my Oneplus 5T Pro last only 5-6 hours SOT after firmware update, installed Cyanogen, 4 days and 13hours with 13h 25mins Screen On Time.
