you get extra points regardless of whether you attack or get attacked as long as the fighter is in the right fighting style for the given season. you also lose points when you get higher up in the ranks for any loss, regarless whether you lost while attacking or getting attacked (having fighters that always get you that bonus helps you minimize that loss of points).

and you dont lose any points for swapping fighters around, no matter what style they are

hope this helps )
