Buzzsaw is a boss character that appeared in the game Pikmin:The After Years. He is is a large bee-like creature resembling the Stingerr except that he is purple, has two arms instead of 6 legs and his back is covered in spikes. He also wears a crown to signify he is the king of Stingerrs.
Attacks
Buzzsaw's main attack is impailing Pikmin. His most used attack is shooting its stinger at you. Any Pikmin hit by the stinger will be killed. He can grab Pikmin with its hands and throw them at the wall, deflowering them. When he has lost 1/4 of its health he will curl up in a ball and start rolling around the arena. This attack is similar to the Segmented Crawbster's rolling attack. If it hits a wall, it'll just get back up right away. At half health, he'll start summoning Stingerrs to aid him in battle. It is always airborne and will never land. The only way to be able to hurt it is to trick it into getting stuck. Wait for it to start moving his stinger; this will indicate that he's using his stinger attack. When he's about to charge, move out of the way. Buzzsaw should charge in attempt to sting you, but he should get stuck in the wall in a similar manner to the way the Aero Snagret gets stuck beak-first in the wall. This will expose its weak spot, his tender underbelly.
How to Kill
As mentioned above, avoid every other attack he throws at you and wait for it to do its stinging attack. Dodge it very quickly and he should get stuck in the wall. Chuck Purple Pikmin on it in an attempt to stun him. Buzzsaw has high vitality so this battle could take a while. Just repeat the process and you should be able to win without any losses.
