Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide

Brawl Stars' limited-time brawler, Buzz Lightyear, offers a unique gameplay experience with his three distinct combat modes. This guide will walk you through his abilities, optimal game modes, and mastery rewards, ensuring you maximize your time with this exciting character before he's gone (February 4th!).

How to Play Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game shop, appearing at Power Level 11 with his Gadget already unlocked. He lacks Star Powers and Gears, but his single Gadget, Turbo Boosters, enables a crucial dash for both offensive and defensive maneuvers. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats, effective across all three modes.

Buzz's three modes offer diverse combat styles:

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 engagements with its burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters combat, utilizing its Tank Trait to charge its Super while taking damage. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, best used at medium range.

Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear

Buzz's versatility makes him effective in various game modes:

  • Close-quarters maps (Showdown, Gem Grab, Brawl Ball): Saber Mode's Super is highly effective, particularly against Throwers.
  • Open maps (Knockout, Bounty): Laser Mode's burn effect allows for aggressive pressure and control, especially against brawlers lacking healing abilities.

Note: Buzz Lightyear is unavailable in Ranked Mode.
