Brawl Stars, the action-packed multiplayer game by Supercell, continues to captivate players with its ever-evolving roster of brawlers. The latest addition, Buzz Lightyear, brings excitement as the first limited-time brawler, available only until February 4th. Players are eager to unlock and master this unique character before he leaves the roster, adding urgency to his arrival.

What sets Buzz Lightyear apart is his ability to switch between three distinct combat styles before entering a match, offering versatility. This adaptability makes him effective across various game modes. Here’s how players can make the most of Buzz Lightyear in this Supercell game.

How To Play Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear
Buzz Lightyear is a limited-time brawler that all players can unlock for free from the in-game Shop. Upon unlocking, players will find Buzz already maxed out at Power Level 11, complete with his Gadget unlocked. He has no Star Power or Gears and comes with a single Gadget called Turbo Boosters, which allows him to dash forward, either closing the gap with an enemy brawler or escaping a dangerous situation.

Buzz also features a unique Hypercharge called Bravado, which doesn't provide any passive buffs but temporarily boosts Buzz's stats for a short duration. This Hypercharge and Gadget are available across all three of Buzz Lightyear's combat modes. The table below provides detailed information on Buzz Lightyear's modes, including his Attack and Super damage values:

Laser Mode6000Normal21605 x 1000
Saber Mode8400Very Fast24001920
Wing Mode7200Very Fast2 x 2000-

Each of Buzz’s combat modes is fairly self-explanatory. Laser Mode excels at long-range combat, with attacks that inflict a burn effect on enemies, causing damage over time and proving difficult to counter. Saber Mode is designed for close-range encounters, with attacks resembling Bibi’s and featuring the Tank Trait, allowing Buzz to charge his Super when taking damage. Wing Mode serves as a hybrid option, performing best when Buzz is closer to his opponents.

Which Is The Best Game Mode For Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear
Unlike other brawlers in Brawl Stars, Buzz’s unique combat modes make him a viable choice across various game modes. In maps with tight spaces, such as those in Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, Saber Mode is an excellent pick. Its Super allows Buzz to land on a targeted spot, making him particularly effective against Throwers. For open maps in modes like Knockout or Bounty, Laser Mode shines. With its burn-over-time effect, Buzz can pressure opponents by delaying their healing, especially if they lack healing abilities. Even with low health, he can push aggressively, securing rounds in Trophy Events or the new Arcade Mode.

Buzz Lightyear is not available in Ranked Mode, meaning players must grind his Mastery in other game modes.

As a limited-time brawler, his Mastery cap is set at 16,000 points, making it achievable before he leaves the game. The table below outlines the rewards for each rank in his Mastery track:
