Brawl Stars, the exhilarating multiplayer game developed by Supercell, has captured the hearts of players worldwide with its dynamic cast of brawlers. The latest addition, Buzz Lightyear, injects a fresh wave of excitement into the mix as the first-ever limited-time brawler, available exclusively until February 4th. With a ticking clock on his availability, players are racing to unlock and master this unique character before he departs from the roster.

Buzz Lightyear stands out with his ability to switch between three distinct combat styles before entering a match, offering unparalleled versatility. This flexibility makes him a formidable force across various game modes. 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 all players can unlock for free from the in-game Shop. Once unlocked, Buzz comes fully powered at Level 11, with his Gadget, Turbo Boosters, already unlocked. Turbo Boosters allow Buzz to dash forward, enabling him to close gaps with enemy brawlers or make a swift escape from perilous situations.

Buzz's unique Hypercharge, Bravado, doesn't offer passive buffs but instead temporarily boosts his stats for a short duration. Both the Hypercharge and Gadget are accessible across 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 Reload Speed: Fast	Damage: 2160 Range: Long	Damage: 5 x 1000 Range: Long
Saber Mode		Health: 8400 Movement Speed: Very Fast Reload Speed: Normal	Damage: 2400 Range: Short	Damage: 1920 Range: Long
Wing Mode		Health: 7200 Movement Speed: Very Fast Reload Speed: Normal	Damage: 2 x 2000 Range: Normal	Damage: - Range: Long

Each of Buzz's combat modes is straightforward. Laser Mode is perfect for long-range combat, dealing damage over time with a burn effect that's challenging for opponents to counter. Saber Mode is tailored for close-range battles, with attacks similar to Bibi’s and the Tank Trait, enabling Buzz to charge his Super when taking damage. Wing Mode offers a hybrid approach, performing optimally when Buzz is near his adversaries.

Which Is The Best Game Mode For Buzz Lightyear?

Buzz Lightyear's unique combat modes make him versatile across various Brawl Stars game modes. In maps with tight spaces like Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, Saber Mode is an excellent choice. Its Super allows Buzz to land precisely, making him particularly effective against Throwers. For open maps in modes like Knockout or Bounty, Laser Mode excels. The burn-over-time effect allows Buzz to pressure opponents, delaying their healing, especially if they lack healing abilities. Even with low health, Buzz can push aggressively, securing victories in Trophy Events or the new Arcade Mode.

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