I'm not expecting the grind for them to be all that bad. I am guessing the same droprate as Magnas and the fights being about as difficult, so getting 3-Stars should be relatively fast and the final copy will take a while. Time will tell.
So while you are technically correct, the value of an Olympia Eidolon is not just the attack power (which they can't beat an on-element eidolon), but in the massive boost to sustain (and potentially vigor buffs if built for it). The 40% bonus character attack is negligible and will equal about a 50-60% element eidolon, but the bonus to defender, and more importantly, ascension and vigor from triple skills will allow you to fight in Rags for an extended duration while also maintaining burst capability and damage output. An Olympia Eidolon team IS stronger than almost every other Eidolon other than the 100% Element Eidolons. For everyone else who doesn't have one, it's a straight up stat boost (especially if you're earning bricks from the Towers and FLBing triple skill weapons). If you're running Thunder or Light (which both have incredible sustain and vigor buffs), they can work very well.
