Supreme Dalek : Negative. No report of Time Lord. We are beyond the Doctor's reach. Davros : Fascinating. If I had not elevated you beyond crude emotions, I could almost mistake that tone for one of victory. Beware your pride.
The need of the Daleks to almost ritualistically chant “exterminate” is arguably a weakness too, as it gives their potential victims ample time to be saved or escape. This has been seen multiple times in both classic and New Who.
I think it was "The Witches' Apprentice" where Missy said the "Exterminate!" chants were the Daleks' way of firing up their weapons, but I prefer Dalek Bumps' theory that it's their arrogance and absolute belief in their own superiority and inevitability of victory that leads them to broadcast their intentions ad nauseum. And I think it was in "The Magician's Apprentice" itself where Davros said that the Daleks derive an almost sadistic pleasure in terrifying their victims, hence screaming "Exterminate!" a thousand times over, instead of actually being more effective and simply just exterminating people on the spot.
@@TheSequelWasBetter Yeah, it's strong emotion, i.e. hatred that fires the gun, as Clara who's very upset and scared being in the machine keeps accidentally discharging the gun. Missy said specifically that saying "exterminate" is how they "reload". I can't say I think that much of that explanation. Like the Metaltron said "exterminate" a handful of times, most of the time it was silently firing on everything in sight, in fact there's a lot of silently and coldly shooting at whatever is there. Maybe it's got more to do with anger, like if they are especially angry at or hate someone more than usual, they get really riled up and say "exterminate".
@@idontlikeitproductions3509 yes, I think it's silly that a Dalek HAS to say "Exterminate!" in order to be able to discharge its weapon. I prefer to think of it more as a psychological thing; their sadism, or perhaps as you said, their anger at everything that isn't Dalek.
they actually reveal that them saying exterminate is how they reload, even though unless you have a specific reason as to why, I don't think lasers need reloading
@@idontlikeitproductions3509 I might make a full video on this one day because there's quite a lot to unpack, I'm fascinated by Missy in The Witch's Familiar because through her we learn things about the Daleks that the Doctor wouldn't teach us. And just like how the Doctor sometimes clouds his own perception of the Daleks (for example, continually insisting that they have no emotions except hate, despite the fact that we know they also feel fear), it's very likely that the Master has done the same. Point is, we can't take what they say at face value. Any information we learn about the Daleks through the Master will be tainted by the Master's worldview and personal experiences with the Daleks. In short, what Missy tells us might be true, or it might be an exaggeration or extrapolation of the truth, or it could be a convenient lie, or a gross simplification, or inaccurate information that applies to an earlier model of Dalek - etc etc. But at the same time, it is interesting to consider that there could be things about the Daleks that the Doctor wouldn't ever talk about, either out of ignorance, disinterest, or even fear
Explosives are a pretty persistent weakness too. I mean, in New Who, it’s not really something anyone has tried to use, except in Eve of the Daleks, and they weren’t even using high explosive, they just used a load of flammable crap and fireworks. But in classic Who, where they used mines and satchel charges, they pretty consistently shattered the Daleks’ casings.
Explosives definitely seem to work consistently on classic Daleks, but it remains to be seen how well a grenade or rocket would work against a Time War Dalek. I reckon that if the Daleks had adapted to the extent that they could fight a temporal war with a race of pseudo-gods then chances are contemporary explosives would have no effect. The Daleks in Eve of the Daleks were destroyed in an explosion, but a brief shot of the ruins shows that their casings have collapsed but are unburned, meaning its likely that it was the collapse of the building that destroyed them and not the explosion itself, though that's just my interpretation
@@dalekbumps Well in the Power of the Doctor, Ace and Graham do destroy a Dalek with Nitro-9. The issue with a rocket or something like that is the same with the bullets, surviving to impact the casing. Though rockets are a lot more substantial than bullets.
@@idontlikeitproductions3509 Ace mentions in the story that the Nitro-9 was 'souped up', and the Doctor refers to it as 'Nitro-999'. That implies to me that standard Nitro-9 is no longer effective against Daleks, so Ace had to modify the formula - probably using xenotech knowledge, as the Hex audios show she picked up a lot from her travels with the Doctor. There are definitely explosives that can destroy modern Daleks, but it's unlikely modern humanity has access to explosives powerful enough to breach their shields. That's just my interpretation though, maybe Nitro-999 is just Nitro-9 with lemonade and dry ice, who knows.
I feel like field of vision is another. The cons of only having one eye allow people to hide in places that would be visible in other beings peripheral vision. The vision of the daleks in death to the daleks is very very narrow.
That’s a very good one. Given its setup, I wonder if the Special Weapons Dalek has 360° of vision or it too has a limited FOV. I mean it’s not inconceivable that there’s an eyestalk inside the windowed neck.
We see that in the show in their very first story, as an internal security measure in the Dalek City. They stop Ian’s escape in a stolen travel machine by magnetically freezing it in place on the floor.
As was said in "Dalek", the Daleks in absence of new orders just follow their primary order to destroy everything that isn't a Dalek. But they need new orders to continue to have any true function.
I would also say another weakness is precise aiming of ballistic weaponry to the eyestalk's sensor. As showing in the Series 1 finale, the Humans on the station along with Jack were able to blind at least one Dalek by making sure to aim precisely to the eyestalk to blind the dalek. Of course, its not a permanent fix as I'm sure the casing has some degree of self-repair feature for that along with the fact that A: in that case the Dalek wasn't alone B: its a very hard target to hit as shown with only one Dalek being blinded and C: even if the Dalek was alone, I wouldn't put it past a Dalek to just start firing wildly in a mix of panic and sheer determination to kill you for even daring to try and blind it.
The first weakness (cold) makes sense, but the Daleks are constantly on battle, so it doesn’t make sense that the Daleks would have a weakness to fire. It would be like a soldier wearing paper armor.
I think part of that is that they're just _that_ terrified of him, always assuming he has a contingency for just that. "But you have no weapons, no defenses, no plan!" "Yeah, and doesn't that scare you to death?"
I think Daleks can be defeated by sheer melee damage, like if someone took a heavy object to damage the eyestalk like Ace did in 'Rememberance of the Daleks' unless that object needs to be Omega-fied. Also, they can throw a cover on top of the Dalek and take it's gun out of it's weapon box slot and shoot it with it's own gun. Or they can use some sort of EMP weapon/grenade to disable it's shields and/or the Dalek unit itself. Also, I want to know how Dalek weapons even power them selfs, as in episode when they are not in the Dalek weapon slot they can still function without a power source connected, because a Dalek gun would need a astranomical amount of power to work. And in new Dalek episodes, RTD could make a story as if Humanity got a hold of a Dalek gun an iimplimented a human made version of a Dalek energy weapon. and have battery packs to reload them and use agains them even in invading Dalek stories.
If they are going into soace, the mutants put bobble hats and scarves on to protect them. They try to wear mittens as well, but those keep sliding off their tentacles.
In space, the main problem is actually getting rid of heat, because the near-vacuum is almost completely incapable of absorbing heat. The main issue would actually be being heat up by proximity to stars.
They also seem to be somewhat vulnerable to biological weapons. If I remember correctly, the Movellan virus nearly caused the Daleks to lose the war. A Dalek is an organic mutant in a tank, and sometimes thinking of ways to kill the mutant, not destroy the tank, might be a better option
I didn't include it here as I've already done a separate video on that, but I'm thinking of doing a part two for this video and the debunking weaknesses video so I'll mention it then
The biggest Dalek weakness is the towel over the eyestalk tactic. But as only one specie in the entire universe developed the towel it remained largely irrelevant.
Here's one idea: daleks inadveretdly sacrifice their own ruthlessness by forming giant collectives. Obviously there is a non-universe reason for this (if every dalek was as savvy and ruthless as "Dalek", "Into the Dalek", "Resolution" or the "Power of the Daleks" group, episodes with fleets would be minutes long), but perhaps we can see that dalek condititioning produces creatures that tend towards becoming inflexible hierarchies when in the armies they find most confortable. They sacrifice their own individuality, and in that pursuit they destroy their own potential.
Both the Master and the Doctor were able to destroy Daleks by getting older, decayed Daleks to invade a younger Dalek's casing. So if you can get your hands on a Dalek mutant, it might try to fight the other Dalek for its armor, which might lead to a big explosion as the casing won't be able to manage both Daleks at once.
My plan would be to make a giant microwave that is somehow immune to dalek firepower, then using their arrogance I will trick them into getting into the microwave oven then I will run out and shut the door, then turn it on and bake the dalek alive until I have a nice crispy dalek that I could cut up and eat, this is if I was in my human form, but I am in Dalek form right now
One weakness that could be added is limited range of movement and potentially somewhat slow speed. In both the classic and the new Doctor Who series there have been multiple times where Daleks end up having issues with close quarters combat simply because their range of movement is limited and somewhat clunky. While they are miniature tanks with either the same or more destructive capabilities as the traditional idea of a tank (depending on show era), they are still tanks. Impairing their movement or ability to aim by tackling and strong arming their weapons to disorient them has proven to be shockingly effective time and time again. The downside of their defenses being so damned good is it limits their agility and ability to respond to threats that manage to get into their blind spots, especially if those threats have quicker reaction times and faster speed than they do. Of course for humans, this always means more than one human (minimum two), would have to get in close enough to grapple the creature to give others time to sabotage the Dalek. Essentially a small group of people would have to use combat tactics used on tanks to properly succeed, risky as hell but still a way to kill at least one Dalek that was by itself.
while space itself is cold, it can be surprisingly difficult to cool down in space because convection and conduction are practically nonexistent in a vacuum (and Daleks are quite compact so not much surface area for radiating infrared) . For warm systems (e.g. people, spacecraft, Daleks) it’s actually easier to overheat in space than to freeze
A personal method I've always joked about is playing a dangerous game of leap frog from Dalek head to Dalek head, making them blast their companions' "skulls" to bits and pieces. Of course, I advise against this unless you have, like...REALLY good jumping speeds.
If I remember right, at one point the Daleks were also vulnerable to screwed bullets. Of course, that was before the Time War, so it probably doesn't apply anymore
If I were writing a Dalek story, I'd design specialized troopers inspired by the Spartan-II Program from Halo. The problem is, of course, Halo is not Doctor Who, therefor I wouldn't attempt it because I know I'd screw up the writing in favor of seeing Daleks being turned into scrap. It would ruin their gravitas. But, if I did, I'd give them focused energy weapons. But specifically, I'd design them to utilize a micro-FLT Drive to fire the projectile weaponry at a much faster rate to break through the shielding, but not too much to cause collateral. Plus, they can attach Dalek guns as substitutes until their primary weapon recharges, bayonette-style. An energy-based Railgun could be used to "fry" the creature inside too. Or lay electrical-disruption-based "flat-traps" that disable the Dalek by gliding over them. In addition, I'd spec-up the trooper's armor for protection, enhance their mobility and maybe even outfit them with cybernetics. Some of which could be implemented from the Cyber-race and become an area of taboo subject in their current time. All in all though, I'd just us their lack of Human Knowledge to misdirect them(Like the Jammy-Dodger bit the 11th Doctor did) or just scream the Doctor's name to send them into a panicked frenzy. Mainly because these troopers have a carry-over knowledgebase taken from the remnants of UNIT into the Far-Future in the Earth Alliance.
Absolutely. "The Chase" is where problems began. Within that one story we were shown Daleks happily trundling about on different decks of the Marie Celeste, and told that they couldn't go up stairs. Not to mention that they can be picked up by a fairground robot Frankenstein's monster. And to round it off, it implies that the six Daleks pursuing the Doctor are the sum total of their forces. I once read that in Classic times, the first episode of a Dalek story would get the highest ratings of the season, and the last would get the lowest. Apparently people would tune in to see them again and drop out because once they've shouted "exterminate" and zapped someone, there was very little else to surprise anyone.
Wasn't there one time did the daleks weakness is was water since i remember that the 3rd doctor grab and hold one of the daleks before pushing them in a water bank And as well one of the weakness is to shoot the dalek on the eye making them blind i remember in some scenes from the classic dr who and the 2005 dr who
If you mean Star Wars blasters, it would take a lot of concentrated fire to destroy a Dalek. Clone ion blasters might have better luck against the shields, but it would take an entire squad all firing at once and even then they would likely take heavy casualties. Into the Dalek shows a huge group of Human soldiers firing at the Daleks at once and they only manage to destroy one before they're forced to retreat
The dalek weaknesses looks like the original alien species like the mysterons have no weaknesses they are invisible aliens from captain scarlet and the rock snakes they have no weaknesses they are alien species with sparks in their mouths from thunderbirds are go 1966 movie
So technicaly, imperial daleks only have 4 weaknesses because they love change, difference and evolution Soo that makes imperial daleks better than regular daleks
Imperial Daleks don't love change or evolution, they are simply different to standard Daleks thanks to Davros' meddling. Other than their cybernetic enhancements, they're functionally identical to standard Daleks
@@dalekbumps i meant it as in they are not afraid of change, they think themselves better in a sense, hense the war I probably could have worded it better but i couldnt think of a better way to say it Imperial daleks are also a sort of crab shape, which is different to the other daleks
@@themightybob they are still afraid of change, they've just been programmed to consider themselves as 'pure', just like any other Dalek. Same deal with the Defence Drones from Revolution of the Daleks

@@Bt-7274.. bastic bullets can penetrate the shield if fire is concentrated on the eyestalk
So hitting them with enough energy and personal failings.
Wasn't there one time did the daleks weakness is was water since i remember that the 3rd doctor grab and hold one of the daleks before pushing them in a water bank
And as well one of the weakness is to shoot the dalek on the eye making them blind i remember in some scenes from the classic dr who and the 2005 dr who
So blasters would work
If you mean Star Wars blasters, it would take a lot of concentrated fire to destroy a Dalek. Clone ion blasters might have better luck against the shields, but it would take an entire squad all firing at once and even then they would likely take heavy casualties. Into the Dalek shows a huge group of Human soldiers firing at the Daleks at once and they only manage to destroy one before they're forced to retreat
Star Wars blasters are actually. Super heated gas. So no
A light saber on the other hand
Energy weapons, while the Daleks use them, using that against them can work.

Their 1st weakness was insulation.
The dalek weaknesses looks like the original alien species like the mysterons have no weaknesses they are invisible aliens from captain scarlet and the rock snakes they have no weaknesses they are alien species with sparks in their mouths from thunderbirds are go 1966 movie
So technicaly, imperial daleks only have 4 weaknesses because they love change, difference and evolution
Soo that makes imperial daleks better than regular daleks
Imperial Daleks don't love change or evolution, they are simply different to standard Daleks thanks to Davros' meddling. Other than their cybernetic enhancements, they're functionally identical to standard Daleks
@@dalekbumps i meant it as in they are not afraid of change, they think themselves better in a sense, hense the war
I probably could have worded it better but i couldnt think of a better way to say it
Imperial daleks are also a sort of crab shape, which is different to the other daleks
@@themightybob they are still afraid of change, they've just been programmed to consider themselves as 'pure', just like any other Dalek. Same deal with the Defence Drones from Revolution of the Daleks
@@dalekbumps ohh, thats cool, i didnt know that, i just thought they were like "look at us weve changed, we're better than you now ha ha"
Stairs,the weird Dalek sludge food stuff, radiation on their own planet, moving over a blanket and hop scotch
They can fly They're Actually, kind of dependent on that radiation and the blanket stopped working literally over 50 years ago. That was only when they didn't have internal power supplies
Hopscotch - lol -- Wasnt that one of the Puzzles in the city (exillon) in 'death to the daleks', taht the daleks basically failed
