base rubico with the highest single shot damage build and full zoom:

serration - heavy calibur - split chamber - vital sense - point strike - hellfire - stormbringer - primed cryo rounds

gives 57,762 damage per hit against alloy armour

since rubico has a min combo of 1 it gets a 1.5x multi on the first hit, giving 86,643 damage to alloy

Lanka with the same build and full zoom gives 144,093 damage to alloy

All of these values are obtained from warframe-builder (if you think there is a more effective build let me know)

So when both weapons don't have rivens, the lanka does almost double the damage of the rubico with 1 shot, however the rubico can fire 2.67 times per second while the lanka can only manage 1, meaning the rubico can fire twice before the lanka is even charged. From this it seems that the rubico has the edge against eidolons, but if you charge the lanka in advance, it competes. The lanka does boast a much higher riven disposition though, so can quickly become far more powerful than the rubico.

Rubico Prime will likely be at least as good as the lanka when both weapons have rivens
