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 Turbo Boosters Gadget allows for quick dashes, perfect for engaging or escaping. His Hypercharge, Bravado, temporarily boosts his stats, available across all modes.
Here's a breakdown of Buzz's three modes:
Mode | Image | Stats | Attack | Super |
---|---|---|---|---|
Laser Mode | ![]() |
Health: 6000, Movement Speed: Normal, Range: Long, Reload Speed: Fast | 2160 damage, burn effect over time | 5 x 1000 damage, long range |
Saber Mode | ![]() |
Health: 8400, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Short, Reload Speed: Normal | 2400 damage, Tank Trait | 1920 damage, long range |
Wing Mode | ![]() |
Health: 7200, Movement Speed: Very Fast, Range: Normal, Reload Speed: Normal | 2 x 2000 damage | N/A |
Laser Mode excels at long-range combat due to its burn effect. Saber Mode thrives in close-quarters, utilizing its Tank Trait to charge its Super while taking damage. Wing Mode provides a balanced approach, most effective at mid-range.
Optimal Game Modes for Buzz Lightyear
Buzz's versatility makes him effective in various modes. Saber Mode shines in close-combat maps like Showdown, Gem Grab, and Brawl Ball, while Laser Mode dominates open maps in Knockout or Bounty. His burn effect in Laser Mode disrupts opponent healing, making him a formidable force even at low health. Note that Buzz is unavailable in Ranked Mode.
