Damage received ('inflicted') and not prevented ('successfully').

If you have Masochism *at* superior fortitude (it doesn't matter what
level your fortitude is at after you play it) and don't prevent any of
the damage from the Assault Rifle, then Masochism gets five counters:
four for the damage and an extra one at the end of the round (since
it was put into play at superior).

It gets one counter for the damage, and another one for the end of the
round (superior).

Take / Begin / Announce / Attempt an action.

Taste of Vitae can be played after strike resolution, even if the opposing
vampire lost no blood to damage. You will gain zero blood in this case.
It cannot be played when the opposing minion is an ally, however.
