Enemy mercs get shrine buffs

I have searched previous threads and found a couple dating back to June. I look through them and found that perhaps they don't have sufficient photo footage or video evidence to assist the developers with debugging the issue.

The following are two clips, the first one showcasing that the enemy merc can receive the shrine buff whilst you have not started the fight. The second clip showcases that the shrine buff gets retained even after the fight started.
