Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Guide to Mastering the Limited-Time Brawler
Supercell's Brawl Stars welcomes its newest brawler, Buzz Lightyear – a limited-time character available only until February 4th! This unique brawler offers three distinct combat modes, making him surprisingly versatile across various game types. Let's explore how to best utilize Buzz Lightyear before he's gone.
How to Play Buzz Lightyear
Unlocking Buzz Lightyear is easy – he's available for free in the in-game shop! He arrives fully maxed out at Power Level 11, with his Gadget already unlocked. While lacking Star Powers and Gears, his single Gadget, "Turbo Boosters," allows for quick dashes, perfect for closing in on enemies or escaping danger.
Buzz's Hypercharge, "Bravado," temporarily boosts his stats, providing a short burst of enhanced power across all three modes. Here's a breakdown of his modes, including attack and 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, its burn effect adding significant damage over time. Saber Mode thrives in close quarters, similar to Bibi's attacks, and benefits from the Tank Trait, charging its Super while taking damage. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, best utilized at closer ranges.
Best Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear
Buzz's adaptability makes him effective in various modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps like Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, its Super allowing precise targeting, especially against Throwers. Laser Mode dominates open maps in Knockout or Bounty, its burn effect hindering enemy healing. Even with low health, his aggressive playstyle can secure victories in Trophy Events or Arcade Mode.
Note: Buzz Lightyear is absent from Ranked Mode. His Mastery must be achieved in other game modes, with a cap of 16,000 points before his departure.
