Brawl Stars, the dynamic multiplayer game developed by Supercell, has thrilled fans with its latest addition, Buzz Lightyear. This limited-time brawler, available until February 4th, brings a fresh and exciting twist to the game. Players are keen to master Buzz Lightyear before he departs, adding a sense of urgency to his arrival.

Buzz Lightyear stands out with his ability to switch between three distinct combat styles before a match begins, offering players a versatile gameplay experience. This adaptability ensures he can perform effectively in various game modes. Let’s delve into how players can maximize Buzz Lightyear's potential in Brawl Stars.

How To Play Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear is a unique, limited-time brawler that players can unlock for free from the in-game Shop. Upon unlocking, he comes fully powered at Level 11, with his Gadget, Turbo Boosters, already available. This Gadget enables Buzz to dash forward, perfect for closing the distance to an enemy or swiftly escaping danger.

Additionally, Buzz features a Hypercharge called Bravado, which temporarily enhances his stats without any passive buffs. This Hypercharge and the Gadget are accessible in all three of Buzz Lightyear's combat modes. The following table details Buzz Lightyear's modes, including his Attack and Super damage values:

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

Each of Buzz’s combat modes has its strengths. Laser Mode is ideal for long-range combat, inflicting a burn effect on enemies for continuous damage, making it challenging to counter. Saber Mode is tailored for close-range battles, with attacks similar to Bibi’s and the Tank Trait, allowing Buzz to charge his Super when taking damage. Wing Mode acts as a versatile option, performing best at mid-range distances.

Which Is The Best Game Mode For Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear's versatile combat modes make him a strong contender in various Brawl Stars game modes. In maps with confined spaces, such as Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, Saber Mode excels. His Super enables precise landing, making him particularly effective against Throwers. In more open maps found in modes like Knockout or Bounty, Laser Mode is advantageous. Its burn-over-time effect allows Buzz to pressure opponents by delaying their healing, especially useful against brawlers without healing abilities. Even at low health, Buzz can push aggressively, securing rounds in Trophy Events or the new Arcade Mode.

Note that Buzz Lightyear is not available in Ranked Mode, so players must focus on other game modes to grind his Mastery. As a limited-time brawler, his Mastery cap is set at 16,000 points, making it achievable before he leaves the game. The following table outlines the rewards for each rank in his Mastery track:

By understanding and leveraging Buzz Lightyear’s unique abilities and modes, players can enhance their gameplay experience and achieve impressive results before he departs from Brawl Stars.
