^ this is the case with these multiple step amalg/evos of late. If 3-4 steps are involved, the outcome is almost unaffected by how you amalg the first step.

Since only a few procent (5-15%) of the stat increase is transferred to the next step, which is further diminished in the next step & the next ...

The gain of maxing Red Tone is 2000, after 3 steps all thats left of this initial increase is essentially 10% x10% x10% = 0.001 which equals 2 stat increase. (The math is a little off because the Tones are amalgamated from 4 cards & approximations etc. - but you get the point...)
