Lanka will do nearly twice the damage that Rubico does with a fully charged shot, but Rubico can easily get two to three shots in while Lanka is firing off one. Shot multilpier works out to be about even; Rubico starts off quicker, but takes longer to build, but also fires much more quickly so it builds about evenly with Lanka. Rubico has a meaty crit multiplier that can achieve 9.9x with just Vital Sense and just gets more disgusting if you're going to invest in a Riven. Rubico is Hitscan while Lanka is not, meaning that Rubico is applying its damage right away and much more accurately; think about any time you were using a Lanka and you held your shot because it was moving around; not a problem for Rubico.

Rubico Prime will do just fine against Eidolons, and might even be slightly better than Lanka. They didn't make it Chroma's signature weapon by accident.
