Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide
Brawl Stars' newest addition, the 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 cover everything you need to know to dominate with Buzz.
How to Play Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game shop, arriving maxed out at Power Level 11 with his Gadget already unlocked. He lacks Star Power and Gears, but his single Gadget, Turbo Boosters, allows for quick dashes, ideal for closing in on enemies or escaping danger. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats. Both Gadget and Hypercharge function across all three modes.
Buzz's three modes offer distinct playstyles:
| Mode | Image | Stats | Attack | Super |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Laser Mode |  |
Health: 6000, Movement Speed: Normal, Range: Long, Reload Speed: Fast | 2160 damage, burn effect over time | 5 x 1000 damage, Long Range |
| Saber Mode |  |
Health: 8400, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload Speed: Normal | 2400 damage | 1920 damage, Long Range |
| Wing Mode |  |
Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload Speed: Normal | 2 x 2000 damage | N/A |
Laser Mode excels at long-range engagements, its burn effect hindering enemy healing. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters combat, its Tank Trait charging the Super while taking damage. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, effective at medium range.
