Brawl Stars, the dynamic multiplayer game developed by Supercell, has thrilled its community with the introduction of Buzz Lightyear, a limited-time brawler available until February 4th. The urgency to unlock and master this unique character before he departs adds an exciting challenge for players.

What makes Buzz Lightyear stand out is his versatility, offering three different combat styles that players can choose before entering a match. This flexibility allows him to excel in various game modes, enhancing the strategic depth of the game. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to maximize Buzz Lightyear's potential in Brawl Stars.

How To Play Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear is a limited-time brawler that players can unlock for free from the in-game Shop. Upon unlocking, Buzz comes fully upgraded at Power Level 11, with his Gadget, Turbo Boosters, already equipped. This Gadget enables Buzz to dash forward, perfect for either engaging enemies or making a swift escape.

Buzz also possesses a unique Hypercharge called Bravado, which temporarily enhances his stats without offering passive buffs. Both the Hypercharge and Gadget are accessible across all three of Buzz Lightyear's combat modes. The following table details Buzz Lightyear's modes, along with their 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 serves a specific purpose. Laser Mode is ideal for long-range engagements, inflicting a burn effect on enemies that causes continuous damage and is hard to counter. Saber Mode is tailored for close-quarters combat, similar to Bibi’s attacks, and includes the Tank Trait, allowing Buzz to charge his Super when taking damage. Wing Mode acts as a versatile option, performing optimally at mid-range distances.

Which Is The Best Game Mode For Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear's unique combat modes make him a versatile pick across various Brawl Stars game modes. For maps with confined spaces, such as those found in Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, Saber Mode is highly effective. His Super enables precise landings, making him particularly dangerous to Throwers. In contrast, Laser Mode is ideal for open maps in modes like Knockout or Bounty, where the burn-over-time effect can hinder opponents' healing, allowing Buzz to press the attack even with low health, securing victories in Trophy Events or the new Arcade Mode.

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, which is achievable before his departure. The following table outlines the rewards for each rank in his Mastery track:

By mastering Buzz Lightyear and understanding his diverse combat modes, players can significantly enhance their gameplay experience in Brawl Stars.
