Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide

Brawl Stars' newest addition, the limited-time brawler Buzz Lightyear (available until February 4th), offers unique gameplay mechanics. This guide will help you unlock and effectively utilize his versatile abilities.

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 offensive and defensive maneuvers. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily enhances his stats. Both Gadget and Hypercharge function across all three modes.

Buzz boasts three distinct combat modes, each with unique stats:

Mode	Image	Stats	Attack	Super
Laser Mode		Health: 6000, Movement: Normal, Range: Long, Reload: Fast	2160	5 x 1000
Saber Mode		Health: 8400, Movement: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload: Normal	2400	1920
Wing Mode		Health: 7200, Movement: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload: Normal	2 x 2000	-

Laser Mode excels at long-range combat with a burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close quarters, utilizing a Bibi-like attack and gaining Super charge from damage taken. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, best used at mid-range.

Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear

Buzz's adaptability makes him effective in 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) due to its burn effect, allowing aggressive plays even at low health. Note: Buzz is unavailable in Ranked Mode.
