Buffs and debuffs are separated into 5 categories: A, B, C, eidolon and stacking frames. More information can be found in Sanahtlig's FAQ, which you really just need to do a bit of digging around this forum to find, he's pretty active around these parts.

You do get extra stats for running the same element eidolon as your himes, so I would still recommend you get Yata, and definitely, get the weapon, the skill on the weapon benefits fire teams. Also, yes, given that fire doesn't necessarily have too many debuffs, having something to push the atk break to the -50% cap helps more often than not.

Thank you.

So if iam only able to get one i should pick Yata instead the weapon?
