Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Guide to Gameplay and Optimal Modes
Brawl Stars' limited-time brawler, Buzz Lightyear, offers a unique gameplay experience with his three distinct combat modes. Available only until February 4th, players need to quickly learn how to maximize his potential. This guide will help you unlock and dominate with Buzz Lightyear 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 closing in on enemies or escaping danger. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats. Both Gadget and Hypercharge function across all three modes.
The table below details Buzz's stats for each mode:
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: Normal | 2400 | 1920 | |
Wing Mode | Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload: Normal | 2 x 2000 | - |
Laser Mode excels at long-range combat with a burn effect. Saber Mode, ideal for close quarters, features the Tank Trait, charging his Super while taking damage. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, effective at mid-range.
Which Game Mode is Best for Buzz Lightyear?
Buzz's versatility makes him effective in various modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps (Showdown, Gem Grab, Brawl Ball), his Super enabling precise landings, countering Throwers effectively. Laser Mode dominates open maps (Knockout, Bounty), the burn effect hindering opponent healing. Even with low health, his aggressive playstyle is valuable in Trophy Events and Arcade Mode.
Note: Buzz Lightyear is unavailable in Ranked Mode. His Mastery cap is 16,000 points, achievable before his departure.
