Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide

Brawl Stars' newest brawler, Buzz Lightyear, is a limited-time addition available only until February 4th. This unique character offers three distinct combat modes, making him surprisingly versatile across various game types. Let's dive into how to best utilize Buzz Lightyear before he's gone.

Unlocking and Initial Stats:

Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game Shop. He arrives fully powered up at Power Level 11, with his Gadget (Turbo Boosters – a forward dash for escaping or engaging) already unlocked. He lacks Star Powers and Gears initially. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats and is available in all three modes.

Buzz Lightyear's Combat Modes:

The following table details Buzz's three modes, their stats, and attack/super damage:

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 with a burn effect. Saber Mode is ideal for close-quarters, functioning similarly to Bibi's attacks and gaining Super charge from damage taken. Wing Mode provides 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 due to his Super's targeted landing. Laser Mode dominates open maps (Knockout, Bounty), utilizing its burn effect to pressure opponents and secure rounds even at low health. Note that Buzz is absent from Ranked Mode.
