Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide
Brawl Stars' newest brawler, Buzz Lightyear, is a limited-time character available only until February 4th. This guide will help you unlock and effectively utilize his unique abilities before he's gone. Buzz's defining feature is his ability to switch between three distinct combat modes before each match, offering unparalleled versatility.
How to Play Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game shop, arriving at Power Level 11 with his Gadget already unlocked. He lacks Star Powers and Gears, but his single Gadget, Turbo Boosters, allows for quick dashes, ideal for both offense and escape. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats. Both Gadget and Hypercharge function across all three modes. Here's a breakdown of his modes:
| Mode | Image | Stats | Attack | Super |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Mode |  |
Health: 6000, Movement Speed: Normal, Range: Long, Reload Speed: Fast | 2160 | 5 x 1000 |
| Saber Mode |  |
Health: 8400, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload Speed: Normal | 2400 | 1920 |
| Wing Mode |  |
Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload Speed: Normal | 2 x 2000 | - |
Laser Mode excels at long-range combat, inflicting a persistent burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close quarters, similar to Bibi's style, and features the Tank Trait, charging his Super when damaged. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, most effective at medium range.
Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear
Buzz's adaptability makes him effective across various game modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps (Showdown, Gem Grab, Brawl Ball), especially against Throwers. Laser Mode dominates open maps (Knockout, Bounty), using its burn effect to control opponents. He's not available in Ranked Mode, but his Mastery cap of 16,000 points is achievable before his departure.
