Are masteries locked in place for AW

Just wondering if your masteries are locked in place for AW if you change them after it starts, a few people in my ally switch an swap suicides for arena an want to know for sure we recoil plays a part in it.

I know a lot of players activate boosts before joining war and those boosts seem to remain in place for their defenders. I haven't done AW in the last few weeks so not sure if it's changed.
@Kabam Miike would be able to give me a solid answer 0, be much appreciated
Your attack changes masteries whenever you change them, they aren't locked in like defense is.
