Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide

Brawl Stars' limited-time brawler, Buzz Lightyear, offers unique gameplay mechanics unlike any other character. Available only until February 4th, this guide will help you maximize his potential before he's gone.

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 – perfect for engaging or escaping. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts 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 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, its burn effect hindering enemy healing. Saber Mode thrives in close quarters, its Super enabling precise positioning, especially effective against Throwers. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, ideal for mid-range engagements.

Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear

Buzz's versatility makes him effective across various game modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps (Showdown, Gem Grab, Brawl Ball), while Laser Mode dominates open maps (Knockout, Bounty).
