no, it's more like this:
In-element, assault variant, higher attack > In-element, assault variant (SSR/SR) > Off-element SSR = In-element > Off-element
off-element doesn't do anything at all in terms of skill effects. it only gives those effects to souls and kamihime matching it's element. most eidolons work this way for main/friend effects too (only a select few like diabolos, vlad, and meng huo work differently)
plus, it's still better to take a defender (or other effects) that matches element, over an off element weapon.... unless the off element weapon is very strong like a max lv SSR
if it has two effects though, take that in-element weapon over the off-element ones no matter what. some of the best weapons to look for is stuff like assault/pride with defender on a weapon, or assault/pride with exceed.
it's that reason why i pretty much have a light grid with around 130% assault (10 SR weapons can do this), but it also gives almost 100% in defender too (practically doubling my HP). dual weapons are GOOD, and shouldn't be overlooked at all until you get stronger.
