Brigitte

Brigitte is a support hero and is originally from Gothenburg, Sweden, according to the Overwatch 2 lore. She was initially sidelined but now joins the main roster to protect and aid those in need.

Strategies

Players who pick Brigitte to take fights in matches need to note that they belong on the front lines together with the tanks. Since she can heal nearby allies by damaging the enemies with her melee weapon, it is an excellent strategy for the team to stick close.

Brigitte's shield is small and can only block incoming damage from a single direction. The shield also has comparatively low health, making her vulnerable if multiple enemy heroes target her. This support requires a secondary who can provide healing and participate in fights like Moira or Baptiste.

This hero is best paired with aggressive shield Tanks like Sigma, who can provide excellent cover to protect the objective and a one-way shield for taking down opposing players. Brigitte can also provide remote heals to Damage heroes like Widowmaker and Pharah, who maintain a distance from the battlefield and inflict damage on the enemies.

Every map has various ins and outs, and playing a comparatively fragile support hero like Brigitte carries its risks. Players would be wise to thoroughly learn the map if they need to back out of fights and make their way to the healing pills and packs that spawn on the map.

Players can utilize Brigitte's knock-back ability to throw players off the edges of maps as a secondary way of dealing with enemy heroes. This tactic is great to apply on various maps, as most tanks prefer to close in and make space for the rest of the team.
