Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide
Brawl Stars' newest addition, the limited-time brawler Buzz Lightyear (available until February 4th), offers a unique gameplay experience with his three distinct combat modes. This guide will help you unlock and effectively utilize Buzz Lightyear before he's gone.
How to Play Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game Shop, already maxed at Power Level 11 with his Gadget unlocked. He lacks Star Power 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 Buzz's modes:
| Mode | Image | Stats | Attack | Super |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Mode |  |
Health: 6000, Movement Speed: Normal, Range: Long, Reload Speed: Fast | 2160, Burn effect | 5 x 1000, Long range |
| Saber Mode |  |
Health: 8400, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload Speed: Normal | 2400 | 1920, Long range |
| Wing Mode |  |
Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload Speed: Normal | 2 x 2000 | - |
Laser Mode excels at long-range combat with its burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters, utilizing its Tank Trait to charge its Super while taking damage. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, best used at mid-range.
Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear
Buzz's versatility makes him effective across multiple modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps (Showdown, Gem Grab, Brawl Ball), its Super proving particularly useful against Throwers. Laser Mode dominates open maps (Knockout, Bounty), using its burn effect to control opponents' healing. He's a powerful asset in Trophy Events and Arcade Mode. Note that Buzz is unavailable in Ranked Mode.
