For those looking for a Wrecker (Mercenary) mods guide, you have come to the right place. Welcome to the Best Mods for Wrecker (Mercenary) article, the latest in my series of “best mods in SWGoH” articles which put my old site on the radar of the community and with EA Capital Games. Over the years I have written literally hundreds of mod guides, including almost all of the original best mods guides over at Gaming-fans.com. Now that my days with Gaming Fans are behind me, I am working to keep the same kind of content going as I resume the “best mods” series today with the Best Mods for Wrecker (Mercenary).
The second iteration of Wrecker in SWGoH and the newest character in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, Wrecker (Mercenary) is the 4th member of the new Bad Batch team released in 2025, joining the leader, Omega (Fugitive), Batcher and Hunter (Mercenary). Just like the original Wrecker, Wrecker (Mercenary) is a Light Side Tank character who is a member of the Bad Batch, but has the Mercenary tag instead of the Clone Trooper tag in this version. Let’s take a look at the mods and stats to enhance Wrecker (Mercenary) in SWGoH.
Note that I have been told that I can get a bit long-winded when writing these mod guides. As a result, if you simply want the TL;DR on how to mod Wrecker (Mercenary), it is below.
Main Mod Stats to focus on…
A deeper dive into Wrecker (Mercenary)’s base stats and kit, and it appears the new Bad Batch will have themselves a very thick tank. With a solid base Health stat already, Wrecker (Mercenary) joins SWGoH with the game’s 6th highest base Protection, 4th highest base Armor and 8th highest base Health Steal stats. With a basic that dispels all buffs on the target enemy and removes Turn Meter, and a AoE that applies Stagger and stacks survivability stats, this version of Wrecker looks to wreck opposing teams. While Wrecker (Mercenary) has a base Tenacity at 62%, his unique adds another 75% to that giving him a lot of Tenacity to ward off detrimental effects from enemies and an Omicron on his unique doubles his Health and Protection in Territory Wars. All of these survivability stats, Health, Protection, Tenacity and Defense, along with Potency, should be the focus of your mods. With a base Speed of 158 and some nice abilities, I am not looking to minimize Wrecker (Mercenary)’s Speed like we do on some tank characters, but high Speed secondaries are not a must either.
Which Mod Sets to use & Dev Recommendations for Wrecker (Mercenary):
Looking at Wrecker (Mercenary)’s base stats, this is a characters that looks awesome on paper (or in digital text). Building on these already strong stats is important to ensure Wrecker (Mercenary) is as thick and annoying as possible. I am leaning toward a blend of Health and Defense mods, but I could see where three Defense sets could be the best route as well. With all of that having been said, here is what I am recommending for the best mods for the new Wrecker (Mercenary):
- Transmitter (Square) – The Transmitter mod always has a primary focus on offense. For Wrecker (Mercenary), you want to use a DEFENSE/HEALTH mod here and be sure to closely look at the secondary stats to ensure that you get a heavy secondary focus on defense, protection, potency and health.

- Data-Bus (Circle) – The Data-bus mod always has a primary focus on either health or protection, so use an DEFENSE/HEALTH mod with a Protection primary. The secondary focus stats should be defense, protection, potency and health or tenacity.
