A rebuttal to your rebuttal:


 * 1) Mercer is a good ranged fighter. He's also a good crackshot and is willing to use any weapons dropped by the Marines or Blackwatch or any guy toting a firearm. So he can get out of the sword's way and pop off rounds or rockets. He can also hurl large objects at Tarrant like water towers, boulders, trucks, tanks, whatever he can get his hands on.
 * 2) Yeah it would but not for long
 * 3) Well Mercer has that stealth factor he can fly into another part of the city and swoop down and consume anyone or anything away from Tarrant. Plus his tendril power pulls in pretty much a busy New York city block of people and infected things and consumes them and becomes stronger. Tarrant can't escape that.

Tarrant may be 10,000 years old but his knowledge of the world is ancient. Mercer is using the knowledge of the present day. He's also a scientist so he knows the vital points of the human body.
