Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Guide to Mastering the Limited-Time Brawler

Supercell's Brawl Stars welcomes its newest brawler: Buzz Lightyear! This limited-time character, available only until February 4th, offers unique gameplay with three distinct combat modes. Let's explore how to unlock and effectively utilize Buzz Lightyear before he's gone.

How to Play Buzz Lightyear

Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game Shop. He arrives at Power Level 11, with his Gadget (Turbo Boosters – a forward dash for escapes or closing distance) already unlocked. He lacks Star Powers and Gears. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats and is available in all three modes.

The following table details Buzz's modes, attack, and super damage:

Mode	Image	Stats	Attack	Super
Laser Mode		Health: 6000, Movement: Normal, Range: Long, Reload: Fast	2160	5 x 1000
Saber Mode		Health: 8400, Movement: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload: Normal	2400	1920
Wing Mode		Health: 7200, Movement: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload: Normal	2 x 2000	-

Laser Mode excels at long-range combat with a burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close quarters, featuring a tank trait and a Super that allows targeted landings. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, best suited for mid-range engagements.

Best Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear
