Max atk and def before evolving is a complete waste of resources and won't bring you any advantage. The soldier count will still be the same as they are not affected by atk and def arcanas. So all it would do is take over is some percent of the atk/def during the evolution and the rest of the max stats are gone.. wasted. Only max after the evolution.
