20% Def is far, FAR worse than 10% damage cut. Which is offered by stuff like Barong, Jack Frost etc.

If you for some reason need defensive options from your Eidolons, NEVER even consider the current event Eidolon for that. Go with elemental advantage and use one or two of those Eidolons instead - you'll take less damage (well technically the same but it stacks with other damage cuts) AND gain 40% Elemental Atk at the same time.
