Mastering Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars: A Comprehensive Guide
Brawl Stars' limited-time brawler, Buzz Lightyear, offers a unique gameplay experience with his three distinct combat modes. Available only until February 4th, players need to quickly learn how to maximize his potential before he's gone. This guide will walk you through Buzz's mechanics and optimal strategies.
How to Play Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a free unlock from the in-game shop, arriving at Power Level 11 with his Gadget already unlocked. He lacks Star Powers 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, and both the Gadget and Hypercharge function across all three modes.
Buzz's three modes each offer unique stats and playstyles:
Mode | Image | Stats | Attack | Super |

Laser Mode | ![]() |

Wing Mode | ![]() |
Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload Speed: Normal | 2 x 2000 | - |
Laser Mode excels at long-range engagements, its burn effect adding significant damage over time. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters combat, its Super allowing targeted landings, particularly effective against Throwers. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, best utilized at closer ranges.
Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear
Buzz's versatility makes him effective in various game modes. Saber Mode shines in close-quarters maps like those found in Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball.
