12 Warriors who survived Kurukshetra war in Mahabharata are: 1. Krishna. This is the most obvious answer. Krishna is the supreme god himself. He fought in the war as the charioteer of Arjuna. He constantly guides Arjuna during the Kurukshetra war.

only 8 known survivors - the Pandavas, Krishna, Satyaki, and Yuyutsu. Yudhishthira gives a different number which is 1,660,020,000 dead and 24,165 missing. [7]

"Yudhishthira answered, ‘ One billion 660 million and 20,000 men have fallen in this battle. Of the heroes that have escaped, the number is 240,165. Yudhishtira's figure. Stri-parva (MBH 11.26) Total people were under 5 million and yet more than a billion people died?!! That Yudhishthira figure is completely messed up.

Only 12 people survived the Kurukshetra War: the five Pandavas, Krishna, Satyaki, Ashwatthama, Kripacharya, Yuyutsu, Vrishaketu, and Kritvarma. How is this possible? In a war of approximately 3.94 million warriors according to this source, only 12 survived? because making sure everyone else was dead was Krishna's avatara goal.
