What if you missed out on getting the character at the time? As of writing, there is no way to unlock Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars.

What kind of fighter is Buzz Lightyear in Brawl Stars?

Buzz♊ Lightyear is a legendary Damage Dealer brawler who can use three different modes. In his first mode, Laser mode, Buzz Lightyear has quite low health, plus moderate-high damage output, long-range, and fast reload speed. He will attack with a laser blast that damages enemies over time upon contact.

For his Super, Buzz lets go of five lasers in a sweeping motion from left to right, each inflicting damage over time when they hit an enemy. Bravado, his Hypღercharge, grants him a 26% speed boost, 25% damage boost, and 𝐆a 5% shield boost when using his Laser mode.

In Saber mode, Buzz will have quite a high HP count, with moderately high damage output and very fast movement speed but a shorter attack range. This time, he will leave the lasers at home and swing his trusty saber in a wide, close-range arc. Finally, the Super attack will make him leap into the air, jumping over walls and dealing damage when landing hard on the ground, knocking enemies back. In Saber mode, he gets a 25% speed and sh𒐪ield boost, plus a 5% damage boost using Bravado.

Finally, in his third (Wing) mode, Buzz will fire two lasers that deal damage based on the proximity of the enemies. His third and final Super attack will make him fly high above the ground, dropping bombs that will deal area damage to oppo💦nent below. He gets a 24% speed boost, 25% damage boost, 𒆙as well as a 5% shield boost with Bravado here.

Buzz uses his Turbo Boosters as a gadget, which lets him dash for a short distance in one sing🌱le direction, which you can change on the go.
