Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Guide to His Unique Abilities and Best Game Modes
Brawl Stars' limited-time brawler, Buzz Lightyear, offers a unique gameplay experience with his three distinct combat modes. 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, ideal for engaging or escaping. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats. These abilities are consistent across all three modes. The following table details his stats in 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 its burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters, charging its Super while taking damage. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, effective at medium range.
Which Game Mode is Best for Buzz Lightyear?
Buzz's versatility makes him suitable for various game modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps like Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, especially against Throwers. Laser Mode dominates open maps in Knockout or Bounty, using its burn effect to control engagements. He's not available in Ranked Mode, but his Mastery cap of 16,000 points is achievable before his departure.
