Brawl Stars: Every Legendary Brawler, Ranked From Worst To Best

Brawl Stars currently features 11 Legendary Brawlers for players to make use of. Here is how they compare to one another.

How To Play 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:

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 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?

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.

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:
