Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide
Brawl Stars' newest brawler, Buzz Lightyear, is a limited-time addition available only until February 4th. This guide will help you unlock and effectively utilize his unique abilities before he's gone.
Buzz Lightyear's defining feature is his ability to select one of three distinct combat modes before each match: Laser, Saber, and Wing. This versatility makes him adaptable to various game modes.
How to Play Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game shop, already maxed out at Power Level 11 with his Gadget 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 are functional across all three modes.
Here's a breakdown of Buzz's modes:
| Mode | Image | Stats | Attack | Super |
