after playing around with the computed stats, I noticed you don't have to do a proper evolution for every step (max lvl + arcana succession). This is because the stats are capped at 49999 anyway.

For a 5-card evo you only have to do a proper evolution for step 2->3 and 3->4 For a 6-card evo it's the same, but you need to do a proper evolution for the second 0->1 step (the card you use to get the HLR) as well. (confirmed thanks to comment below).

also for 5-card evolutions, if you only do a proper evolution for step 3->4 you get almost the same stats, just the atk is slightly lower (89192). For some other 4 star LR (like True Wolf Fenrir) it's the def that'll be slightly lower.
