TL;DR:
red>orange>purple>blue>green ALWAYS
keep your orange + nin/atk pen and injury in inventory

Your exp/stat *ysis is wrong. Not in the numbers but in the method.
Specifically, you should not compare it by level, but by experience invested.
Take lv 11 purple, for example, it provides 239 nin for 8964 exp.
For less exp, you can have a lv 8 red, which is 387. Ergo you have more stat for the experience.

Instead, you should compare at exp benchmarks, for example:
100 invested
200 invested
400 invested
800 invested and so on. (since exp required grows more or less exponentially, power of 2 for a chart is a good way to go, 68256, which is the max for red, is only between 51200 and 102400 which is 10th and 11th step after all. Granted, if you just try a few numbers, you will see that higher color is better making a full chart moot)
And you c*e partial levels to give an exact comparison.
For example, take 800 invested on nin, this would be
green 7 + 60/320 = 43+1.125=44.125
blue 6 + 224/312 = 81+8.615=89.615
purple 5 + 296/360 = 125+15.622=140.622
orange 4 + 296/504 = 165+15.270=180.270
red 3 + 368/576 = 217+21.722=238.722

Clearly, for 800 experience invested, red is far better.
After all, experience is our limiting factor and comparing a lv x purple to a lv x red is moot, instead what matters is what stat you can get for a lv y red that you can get for the exp it took to get a lv x purple.

That said, your current chart does have its uses, in that it helps us determine what rune to level next.
Specifically, it goes like:
2 purple, 2 blue, 2 orange, 2 green, 3 purple, 2 red, 3 blue, 3 orange, 3 green, 4 purple, 4 blue, 3 red and so on. This helps us get the max stat out of all our runes for the same exp.

As for the useless stat, while injury is far too bothersome for me to test, I did do a limited test on the *ion and can confirm that it have no noticeable effect. That said, I expect them to have an effect eventually from a fix patch, because they SHOULD, so I'd keep the high colors in inventory all the same. I agree with OP, however, that they should not be used at the moment.

Appreciate the constructive advice.
There may be a time I might run a full combo team, so i'll set my Orange Combo Rune aside then rather than infusing it with the Red Control Rune.

Gotta love the mechanics of this game, simplistic yet strategic

no kidding...


On a side note, does anyone know if you can crit heal? I'm just kinda curious (crit rune is useful regardless to reduce chance enemy crit you, but.... it would be an interesting bit to know...)

i am 99% sure you cannot crit heal...i've never seen my tsunade heal more th*ual

fix arena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i cant find oponent at daytime i am waiting at least 15-30 minutes fix arena!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we have this system for quite some time now, and the main problem still persists.
the runes are linked to ninja move and not the character, which is even a bigger pain when you give us the multiple tactics system which change the entire team in 1 click.

i think that this should be looked upon and fixed asap, there is no reason for it to be like this. either that or add all the sets in just one and be done with it.

i dont know i like it that the chakra runes are locked on the moves
initiators are move 1 - 2 support chars mostly 2 - 3 and healers mostly on 4

Has anything changed with the 2.0 update?

I've heard that you ALWAYS get a purple or better rune when activating Guy (not sure which one) after the 2.0 patch. Can someone confirm/deny that?

32k practice pts in:
17 Golds (4/17 tier 1, rest tier 2 & 3) & 2 Reds (tier 3)

Curious what the frequency is for Golds/Reds (surely it's not random).
Also noticed how difficult it is to get the useful tier 1 runes or I just got bad luck.

I dont think you can crit heal

Any data on the stats/level of Quick rune?

My quick runes are all at L10 and it gives +186 Initiative
I'll update this when I get it to Max L11

Also 80 practice pts 4 reds, 50 golds

I think there are issues using levels to calculate the ratio between xp and stats instead of directly calculating ratio between xp and stats. For example level 7 orange attack, which cost 1728 xp total, if i were to invest all that xp into blue, i would get a level 10 blue with 1776 xp total, now going to the stats, level 7 orange has 87+(26*7) = 269 attack, a similar EXPERIENCED blue would give 21+(12*10) = 132 attack, thats quite a massive difference, as i see it no reason to be using lower colored chakra if a higher one is available.

did tai *ion and nin *ion still useless after 2.0?

is it more efficient to sell the purple chakra? or use it as exp if you already have the same one.

and no *ion stuff.. still not working.. that's lame AF, i have TWO red Nin *ion

thanks for the information

L11 (max lvl) quick rune is +202 intiative

What chakras are best for a wind main??

Oh that's what it does? Well then I don't need to care about that, then.
