If you win the fight, you should always get the SS - no idea what is happening in your case.

More importantly, for the new event - for newer players, it is far better to climb during the 2nd half, you will have a good chance of getting the SH reward (which is a divina defender). Only aim for lvl 5-10 during FH (first half), then stop playing the event - go farm SS etc. You want to get a few levels in FH, so that you qualify for the free SW that is given out.

Then, during SH start climbing, go as high as you can w/o using items ... because right now, your team is too weak to reach lvl 80 without heavy expenditure of items and its better not to do so. Once you reach your 'wall' - i.e. the highest level you can beat w/o items - then spend the rest of the time farming CP by summoning the highest level boss, letting him go and then killing the lower level boss that you find later.

The vast majority of high level players (and all whales) will climb during FH for the FH ranking reward and because their target takes more time to reach, and more time to regen between fights. So, this means that getting 3x points for first kills during SH makes it easier for you to grab the SH 4* reward, which most people won't be fighting for.
