The clone army was an incredibly effective force against the incredibly large separatist
army. Each clone had years worth of training, whereas the droids had limited
intellect and struggled to learn from prior experiences - if they lived through them,
that is. On average each clone could take down about thirty droids, meaning that the full army
of 6.2 million clone troopers had the potential to eliminate an average of 186 million battle droids.
However, some units were far more capable than others, with high-ranking squads being able to
cripple the operations of hundreds of droids at a time. So out of the millions of clones,
which one killed the most droids? That’s what I’m about to break down,
so smash the like and subscribe buttons, join the starforceone discord, and let’s get into it.
The numbers are fan estimates on any on-screen kills so these don’t include anything from the
books or comics - but don’t worry, I’ll give you my own numbers in a little while. So the
fans have counted a total of 25 kills for Jesse, the Advanced Recon Commando, or ARC trooper,
in the 501st Legion during the Clone Wars, who served under the leadership of Anakin Skywalker
and Captain Rex. Loyally patriotic, Jesse faced challenges like the Battle of Umbara and later
joined the 332nd Division. Succumbing to Order 66 during the Siege of Mandalore, he turned against
Ahsoka Tano in a tragic confrontation. In a clash aboard a Star Destroyer, Jesse perished
alongside other clones as Tano and Rex escaped, eventually burying him with his comrades.
Just ahead of him there’s 26 kills from Waxer, who served in Ghost Company during the many battle of
the Clone Wars. He took part in missions like the Siege of Hisseen and the Battle of Ryloth,
where he befriended a Twi'lek girl named Numa. In the Second Battle of Geonosis,
Waxer fought valiantly and earned many kills, displaying a drawing of Numa on
his helmet. Sadly, some of these kills were his own brothers, as,
in the Battle of Umbara, he fell victim to a deception orchestrated by General Pong Krell,
leading to his untimely death and those of many other clones who opened fire on each other.
Next up we have the famed Captain Cody, who, with 33 kills, served as Clone Marshal Commander
in the Grand Army of the Republic. Known for his reliability and fierce loyalty, he commanded the
7th Sky Corps, including the renowned 212th Attack Battalion. Taking part in many major battles,
Cody formed a close friendship with Clone Captain Rex and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Forced by Order 66,
he attempted to execute Kenobi but failed. Some time later, he questioned the Empire's motives,
ultimately deserting after a mission to Desix to live life on his terms.
Captain Rex, the infamous and much beloved leader of the 501st legion,
who fought side-by-side in many battles with Ahsoka Tano and her master Anakin Skywalker,
comes in carrying 42 kills. Since he featured heavily in the various campaigns across the
galaxy, this does seem far lower than it should be, but we’ll get to that in a bit.
Gregor has 102 kills, and if you don’t remember him, he’s the awesome but a
little crazy clone commando who was absolutely crazy on the battlefield, effortlessly taking
down dozens of droids. Above him are each of the individual members of the bad batch,
with a few hundred kills each, minus wrecker. We’ll save him for last..
Hardcase, the devout trooper who sacrificed himself to take down an entire supply ship,
saving many of his brothers in the process. Although the exact number of droids aboard
this ship isn’t known, it’s been estimated to be around 150,000 when comparing it to other ships.
This, however, is nothing in comparison to the first place champion. Wrecker, the incredibly
strong and slightly dumb member of the bad batch has an estimated kill count of 2,451,000 due to
his detonation of Admiral Trench’s ship, the invulnerable, as well as those surrounding it.
These are some pretty crazy numbers on the high end, but obviously the
on-screen kills of characters like Rex and Cody simply don’t do them justice.
Another fan estimate puts Captain rex at over a million droid kills, and this is definitely
a lot more believable. He was one of the most active and elite clones in the army,
so it would make plenty of sense that he could amass such a huge number of kills over time.
I’d say that Cody should have around the same, and that would mean the commandos and the batch
batch should have at least one or two million each, if they fought through the whole war.
So I’ll say that in order of who has the most kills, in 5th spot we have gregor and the
commandos like him, in 4th we have cody, in 3rd we have rex, second place is taken by the bad batch,
with wrecker as an individual taking the top spot, since he’s already on top of the regular list.
