T'kar was completely unaware of the plot being made against her, Komi were never the type to strategize heavily in the first place. Sure, they had tactics, some quite clever in fact. But they lacked flexibility and often used the same tactics over and over again, changing them very little depending on the enemy.
In the valley Rodes case, their tactics relied heavily on long distance combat.
Compared to average Komi, they were physically lacking and would lose if made to fight at close range. Because of this they largely depended on spears and bows to fight.
These were perfected even more once they got hold of the many resources left behind in the city when they first discovered it. For Komi they were incredibly developed and were thus able to maintain their settlement and thrive through many generations.
