Elytron is weak.

Here is why:

On really high level stuff (especially once we get void archwing stuff) its damage dealing abilities will be too weak to have an effect on enemies without expending most your energy. Which will then mean you are gonna be stuck with your weapon and your shield/health armor stats.

An Odonata's shield can effectively protect it against damage from any level of enemies till the timer runs out. Odonata Prime can even do that better by having better defensive stats, meaning it won't die as easily when flanked. plus it doubles any critical damage that goes through it, making it an excellent choice to improve upon your damage output.

An Itzal has the ability to teleport all over the map, meaning it can easily switch between the objectives and assist anyone who needs a hand. Works very well if paired with a Velocitus, since that weapon is basically a chargeable sniper-rifle which can take pick off enemies from a safe distance. Also, it can suck all the enemies and pickups to itself, making collecting them significantly easier.
