The only things necessary for a perfect amalgamation are to max the levels of the cards involved in the amalgamation (and to properly evolve the cards, if the amalgamation requires H cards).

The only arcana you can use during amalgamation are Arcana forced ATK and Arcana strong DEF. If you plan on evolving the amalgamated card, using any arcana ATK/DEF at this point will be wasted, since only some of the stats gained are carried over during evolution.
