Steven and Sara overpower guards in escape

The Dalek guards’ armor, while providing some protection, leaves critical vulnerabilities—exposed necks and torsos—that Sara exploits with lethal efficiency. The armor’s design highlights the Daleks’ reliance on human enforcers for close-quarters security, as their own mechanical forms are ill-suited for such tasks. The gaps in the armor become the key to Sara’s swift and decisive takedown of the guards, turning their own equipment against them.

Before: Worn by the three Dalek guards, covering most of their bodies but leaving necks and torsos exposed.
After: Damaged and disheveled after the fight, with one guard’s neck fatally wounded, another’s stomach bruised, and the third’s head bloodied from the impact against the wall.
