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.

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 |

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.
