I think you're mixing everything a bit

1. Stat won't change no matter what levelling method you use unless you're using Arcana atk/def which isn't necassary before awakening, lv up via battle is ok if you have card like Candy Alchemist or it'll be too long, so better lv up via Slimes + Arcana training/blessing for quick upgrade.

2. However during evo for best stat you need to use Arcana sucession, don't forget it or your card might end up with lesser Soldier Count. Since atk.def can be upgrade later via Arcana this is the only matter about it, though you'll need more arcana than normal since atk/def will be lower too.

As a side note keep arcana stk/def for GUR or above rarity with good skills don't waste it otherwise.
