Tariq Merge during influence phase

Could you please update "Detailed Play" to use the new influence rules?
And just to clarify, merge during influence to avoid the tariq flaw is not possible right?

2 related questions that came up the other day:

Banished minion with skill card. Capacity x. Can x + 1 blood be placed and remain after influence.

Merged minion with different capacity is banished. What is the capacity of uncontrolled minion? Same over influence question as before.

No, his capacity is still reduced when the first version becomes controlled.

Every card on a vampire in your uncontrolled region is out of game so it doesn't change your vampire capacity. So you can choose to place x counters on him and put him back in the ready region. You could also place X+1 blood and he would come in the ready region with X+1 blood. Once controlled, the game will check if the vampire have too many blood and will see a controlled vampire with a capacity of X+1 and no excess blood.

For the second question, I am not sure because I can't find the rules about merged vampires. But IIRC once merged, the vampire take every trait from the advanced version plus the text of the base version and the merged version.

So a vampire with a 7 capacity base and an 8 capacity advanced will be an 8 capacity merged. And the game remember it has been merged so if you want to influence him back, you will need to put 8 counters on him (and an 8 capacity vampire will not be able to put blood counter on him using cards like Govern the Unaligned).

If Merged Tariq got banished and come back he still loses capacity before enter the game?
