Yes, ALWAYS max out both units before evolving/amalgamating them (unless the card is not useful and you just want an HR or HN version of it because you like the art... which is totally what i do XD)

so in this case- Max out your two Dark Santa to get two lvl 50 SR dark santa. Then evolve them with an Arcana Succession (The yellow butterfly arcana), The Arcana succession gives a 5% transfer rate therefore increasing the atk, def and soldier (most important thing here is the soldier as it cannot be changed later, the atk/def can be increased with arcana)

this arcana can be obtained through AW/FAW rewards and at the shop in exchange for rare medals (rare medals are obtained through exchanging unneeded R/SR/UR cards, although you probably shouldn't exchange UR cards for medal XD)

By doing so, you get the most powerful HSR Dark Santa possible, with the max amount of soldier.

Then do the same with Frosty, (lvl50 + lvl 50 + Arcana Succession)

Then you max out your two HSRs - lvl 60 Dark Santa x lvl 60 Frosty for a perfect amalgamation UR Santa Oracle

note that only the level needs to be maxed out, you DON'T need to max out the skill, friendship, atk, def. and you also DON'T have to recruit full soldier for the cards, just simply max out their lvl, evolve with Arcana Succession. (Arcana Succession is only used for evolving, you cannot use it for amalgamation for fusing)

Tip- Use slimes to easily max out the cards
