Brawl Stars, the dynamic multiplayer game from Supercell, has thrilled fans with the introduction of Buzz Lightyear as a limited-time brawler. Available until February 4th, Buzz Lightyear adds a thrilling twist to the game, pushing players to master his unique abilities before he departs from the roster.
What makes Buzz Lightyear stand out is his ability to switch between three distinct combat styles before entering a match, offering unmatched versatility. This flexibility makes him a powerful contender in various game modes. Here's how players can maximize Buzz Lightyear's potential in Brawl Stars.
How To Play Buzz Lightyear?
Buzz Lightyear, available as a limited-time brawler, can be unlocked for free from the in-game Shop. Once unlocked, players will find Buzz fully powered at Level 11, with his Gadget already equipped. He does not come with Star Powers or Gears but is equipped with the Turbo Boosters Gadget, enabling him to dash forward to either engage or evade opponents.
Buzz also boasts a unique Hypercharge called Bravado, which doesn't offer passive buffs but significantly enhances his stats temporarily. This Hypercharge and Gadget are accessible across all three of Buzz Lightyear's combat modes. Below is a detailed breakdown of 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 distinct advantages. Laser Mode is ideal for long-range combat, inflicting a burn effect that causes ongoing damage and is tough to counter. Saber Mode is tailored for close-range battles, with attacks similar to Bibi's and the Tank Trait, which charges his Super when he takes damage. Wing Mode offers a balanced approach, best used when Buzz is near his adversaries.
Which Is The Best Game Mode For Buzz Lightyear?
Buzz Lightyear's versatile combat modes make him a strong choice across various Brawl Stars game modes. In close-quarters maps like those in Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, Saber Mode excels, particularly against Throwers due to its precise Super targeting. For open maps in modes such as Knockout or Bounty, Laser Mode proves invaluable, using its burn effect to hinder opponent recovery, especially those without healing capabilities. This allows Buzz to aggressively pursue victories in Trophy Events and the new Arcade Mode.
Notably, Buzz Lightyear is not playable in Ranked Mode, so players must focus on other game modes to grind his Mastery. With a Mastery cap of 16,000 points, players have a feasible goal to achieve before Buzz's departure. The rewards for progressing through his Mastery track are detailed below:
| Rank | Rewards |
|---|---|
| Bronze 1 (25 Points) | 1000 Coins |
| Bronze 2 (100 Points) | 500 Power Points |
| Bronze 3 (250 Points) | 100 Credits |
