She isn't an alien.

She had Byakugan but she was only used it to supplement her Rinne Sharingans Tsukuyomi.

Hardening her hair would have gotten her caught in the Chibaku Tensei. She had them caught in her hair before and once she realized they had the seals she threw them away from herself.

Kakashis sudden addition threw her off. Her bones would have killed at least Naruto if he didn't warp them away. Since that didn't work out, she dodged. Sakura was hidden by Susanoo.

Off the top of my head all Zetsu did was tell her to stop trying to steal chakra. I don't recall combat advice, at least, not things she already knew.

It's not so much that she isn't tactical, she just got out tactic'ed.
