I don't think there's any section about Maxing Atk/Def, but there are some guides around tcgapp forums  and at valkyrie crusade facebook fanpage, the facebook guide is a bit old but will help you to understand how and when to do it - you can find it here .

If you have enough medals and wish to max both Atk/Def I would recommend to max them together, this way will be faster and you'll  waste less gold and N cards (But you'll need around 40K Medals to max both at the same time). If you don't have enough medals focus only on maximizing your Atk. Max your maiden skill as well. That being said Dark Santa skill will not "add" to the Max Attack itself, but will raise by 30~40% your maxed Attack of 19999 so you can dealt more damage each turn while buffed. -Up to 5 times. So if you have an attack of 100, next turn your attack will be (if you have maxed your skill--> +40%) 140 and next turn you'll have +40% of 140, 196 Attack, and so on.

You can check at the wikia the HSR/HUR max stats before maximizing so you can spend the exactly X number of arcanas at low levels - beggining at level 1 if you like. In your case HSR Dark Santa will have a max of 9072 Atk and 8848 Def if you evolved her at max level and using arcana succession (Check here if you like).

So to find how much arcana you'll spend to max her Atk and Def you just have to make a simple reduction: 19999-Max Stat= X, than you divide X by 50 and you have the number of "+50 arcana" you'll need to max your Atk/Def (if your card is a HUR you use 29999 instead of 19999 -Note that GSR/GUR cards will have higher caps so you'll need to use more arcanas to reach the cap).

For Dark Santa you'll need 219 "+50 Atk Arcanas" and 224 "+50 Def Arcanas".

Sorry for any grammar mistakes and if it was confusing, hope that I helped in any way!!
