You need to use Arcana Succession when evolving the SRs into HSRs (in addition to each being level 50). Once you have done that you don't need any arcanas for amalgamation into the UR (but each HSR should be level 60). Once you have two URs, use Arcana Succession again to evolve into HUR (each should be level 70). Awaken whenever you want to; the HUR does not need to be leveled up at all.

You're always free to use arcanas to increase attack and/or defense, but soldiers can never be increased at all. That is why you need max level for everything except awakening. And that's why you should always ask before doing if you're not totally sure of what you're doing.

Even though you're always free to raise attack, defense, and skill level, it's not always a good idea. Everything you add will be lost upon evolving, amalgamating, or awakening. If something can be awakened, wait until you have the GSR or GUR. If it can't be, wait until you have the HN, HR, HSR, or HUR.
