Resolution card Blood of Acid

I wonder how the most correct resolution card Blood of Acid.
I will give here 4 examples and please for explain.

1) In combat 2 vampires(A and B),before strike vampire A play Blood of Acid. both vampire declare strike HS-1dmg, Vampire A have Skin of Rock,him as acting vampire need to wait if vampire B prevent or take damage,if vampire B take damage,so vampire A take 1 from HS normal damage and 1 aggravated damage from Blood of Acid,him can chose now Skin of Rock sup to prevent 2 dmg,correct?

2) Vampire A in combat against Elimelech,play before strike Blood of Acid. Vampire A strike is HS,Elimelech chose strike HS 2 aggravated(with Claws of the Dead)
questions here, if vampire A cant prevent dmg,him need to go to torpor,Elimelech still need to take dmg from Blood of Acid?

3)Vampire A in combat against Elimelech,play before strike Blood of Acid. Vampire A strike is HS,Elimelech chose strike HS 2 (normal dmg). Vampire A take 2 normal dmg,Elimelech take 2 aggr dmg from Blood of Acid. Elimelech goes to torpor without to take dmg from vampire A strike because Blood of Acid resolve as first strike,and combat end occurs before resolve strike vampire A,correct?

4) Vampire A play Blood of Acid,vampire B play Catatonic Fear or Loving Agony(valeren discipline). What now,when vampire A take dmg from CF or LA does vampire B need to take dmg from Blood of Acid after combat end?

Valeren inf : Strike: combat ends and the opposing minion takes 1 damage.
Valeren sup : As Valeren above, and this vampire may burn 1 blood to untap before combat ends.

Yes me scenario is wrong in question 1,i repeat scenario 1 and scenario 4 here.

1) In combat 2 vampires A(acting vampire) and B, before strike vampire B play Blood of Acid. both vampire declare strike HS-1dmg,
1a))Vampire A can prevent dmg with Skin of Rock but him only declare i can prevent dmg without play card,and wait what vampire B doing with dmg. if vampire B decide to take dmg then vampire a take dmg from vampire B strike and 1 aggr dmg from BoF,him play Skin of Rock superior and prevent both. correct?

1b))but what hapen in same scenario if vampire A have inf fortitute? him as acting need first to declare if prevent or not? so if him said i can prevent dmg,vampire B said i take dmg,so vampire A now must use Skin of Rock inf to prevent HS from vampire B strike but him then take 1 aggr from BoF. correct?

1c)) )but what hapen in same scenario if vampire A have inf fortitute? him as acting need first to declare if prevent or not? him have 1 Skin of Rock inf in hand him said i take you dmg,vampire B said i also take dmg. vampire A play Skin of Rock inf prevent dmg from BoA and him draw again Skin of Rock,him can use now Skin of Rock inf to prevent from vampire B strike dmg? if vampire A can play second Skin of Rock to prevent dmg from vampire B strike,what now,does vampire B can change opinion and declare to him also can prevent dmg from vampire A strike? is litle complicated, i hope you understand what i ask in example 1c))

if i no get good example here with BoA can you explain how is correct way to vampire take dmg from BoA if strike resolve in same time?

4) in example 4 you only answer to BoF not apply vs Catatonic fear but what about BoA vs Loving Agony(valeren discipline),does dmg from BoA apply vs Loving Agony,because text in LA no said inflict dmg after combat? and i ask here may dmg from LA be prevented with any combat prevention cards?

In the case of Loving Agony the vampire playing it takes the agg damage from BoA since the damage is resolved during combat.
