18edo does not approximate the 3rd harmonic at all, unless a >30¢-error is considered acceptable, and it approximates the 5th, 7th and 9th harmonics equally well (or equally poorly) as 12edo does. It does, however, render more accurate tunings of 7/6, 21/16, 15/11, 12/7, and 13/7. It is also the smallest edo to approximate the harmonic series chord 5:6:7 without tempering out 36/35 (and thus without using the same interval to approximate both 6/5 and 7/6).
