It's around 700 soldiers and like 750 base ATK/DEF, which can translate to a decent amount of damage (doesn't matter as much once you hit cap, but the "HP" helps). While you can raise ATK and DEF with arcana to make up for the difference, you can't do so for soldiers, and not having to use 750 ATK/DEF worth of arcana is nice. Also, there's an "IMO" next to the comment, saying that it was worth it to me.

If you would rather just get Huang Long as fast as possible, then just do it and get FAW drops; I personally would rather wait until I can perfect amalgamate it. If you have the time, why not?
