Atk+Def arcanas can be used any time to pump up whatever card you want. It's not like succession arcana, which is effective only during Evolution steps to add to carryover. Atk and Def arcanas don't increase the carryover percentage, so you should wait until the last step of amalga/evo to pump them manually. Otherwise you just wasted arcanas, especially if there is at least one more amalgamation step after (like with Diva).
