Buzz Lightyear Swoops into Brawl Stars: Guide and Optimal Modes

Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide

Brawl Stars' limited-time brawler, Buzz Lightyear, offers a unique gameplay experience with his three distinct combat modes. This guide provides a detailed walkthrough on how to effectively utilize Buzz, maximizing his potential before his departure on February 4th.

How to Play Buzz Lightyear

Unlocking Buzz Lightyear is free via the in-game shop. He arrives fully powered at Level 11, equipped with his Turbo Boosters Gadget (a forward dash for offense or escape) and his Bravado Hypercharge (a temporary stat boost). He lacks Star Powers and Gears.

Buzz's three modes, each with unique stats and attack styles, are detailed below:

Mode	Image	Stats	Attack	Super
Laser Mode		Health: 6000, Movement Speed: Normal, Range: Long, Reload: Fast	2160 damage, burn effect	5 x 1000 damage, long range
Saber Mode		Health: 8400, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload: Normal	2400 damage	1920 damage, long range
Wing Mode		Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload: Normal	2 x 2000 damage	N/A

Laser Mode excels at long-range engagements with its burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters combat, benefiting from its Tank Trait that charges its Super while taking damage. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, best used at medium range.

Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear

Buzz's versatility makes him suitable for various game modes:

• Close-quarters maps (Showdown, Gem Grab, Brawl Ball): Saber Mode is ideal, its Super allowing precise targeting and effectiveness against Throwers.
