Buzz is a close-range brawler whose Super charges passively when enemies are near him. His Super throws a buoy that grapples walls or enemies, pulls him to them and stuns enemies around him on arrival. The longer the pull, the longer the stun.
- Stay near enemies to charge your Super passively, without needing to hit.
- Grapple from long distance for a longer stun, then finish the target while they cannot move.
