Overall increase in healing output

Brigitte has received an overall increase in healing output, making her more effective as a support hero. While the healing per second of Repair Pack has decreased, the addition of instant healing has increased the overall healing output. Additionally, the ultimate ability, Rally, has become easier to activate with the reduced cost, making it easier to support teammates.

Attack and range recovery can be done at the same time

Brigitte is a character who can heal allies and attack. Now that there's only one tank and there are more melee battles, it's easier to take advantage of your allies' ability to heal while spreading firepower over a range.

No hands or feet for long-distance attacks

Brigitte has no use for long-range attacks. The only attacks available are long-range melee attacks and mid-range whip shots, making you a target on open or long maps. It is recommended that you choose to fight while keeping in mind that you will be fighting in a complicated place.

Strategy Guide

Pay attention to not have your shield broken

When using Brigitte, be careful not to have your shield broken. If your shield is broken, not only will its durability decrease, but you will also lose access to Shield Bash. Shield Bash is a versatile ability that can be used for movement, defense, and attack. Losing the ability to use Shield Bash greatly decreases Brigitte's performance, so be mindful of not having your shield broken.

Don't overextend on your own

To avoid being defeated, don't overextend on your own as Brigitte. While she has high durability with her shield and armor, if the enemy team focuses their firepower on her, she will be taken down. Therefore, be cautious and avoid overextending on your own.

Protect your support partner

When playing as Brigitte, always keep in mind the importance of protecting your support partner. Brigitte has one of the highest melee damage outputs among support heroes, so make sure to prioritize protecting your support partner. If enemy damage approaches, either push them back or eliminate them altogether.

Countermeasures

Anti-Pick is Pharah

Brigitte's weakness is her short attack range. When facing her with Pharah, you can easily defeat her from outside Brigitte's range by attacking her unilaterally.

Target Brigitte with long-range characters

Brigitte is strong in close-range combat, but she becomes ineffective in medium to long-range combat. If you can't attack her, you won't be able to heal your teammates either. Use long-range characters like Soldier:76 or Widowmaker to deal damage and defeat her from a distance.

Compatible Characters

Winston

Let's Make a Charge Together

Brigitte's passive ability, "Inspire," has the effect of healing nearby allies when attacking enemies. When combined with Winston's charge, this ability disperses enemy attacks, making it less likely for Winston himself to be defeated while simultaneously defeating the enemy and healing Winston.

Ability, Details, and Use

Repair Pack

Used to heal long-range allies

Repair Pack is used to heal allies from a distance. Brigitte can only heal when she is not attacking, so use it when allies are fighting far away or after the battle has ended.

Avoid consuming all at once

Avoid consuming the repair pack all at once. It is Brigitte's valuable long-range healing method, and if it is used up, she won't be able to heal in crucial situations. The healed ally gradually regains 110 HP, so check their HP before deciding whether to heal them again.

Whip Shot

Targeting Mid-range Enemies to Heal the Surroundings

Use Whip Shot to hit mid-range enemies when you cannot engage in close combat and heal the surroundings. Since Brigitte can recover health by dealing damage, Whip Shot can activate the healing effect without any issues.

Defending Allies from Approaching Enemies

Since Whip Shot has a knockback effect, use it to defend allies from approaching enemies. Tanks and flankers often actively target supports, so maintain distance with Whip Shot and provide support to ensure your teammate's safety.

Utilizing Whip Shot as a Finishing Blow against Enemies

Use Whip Shot as a finishing blow against enemies. Brigitte primarily relies on close-quarters combat, which means the enemy has a high chance of escaping even after taking some damage. Reduce their HP and then finish them off with Whip Shot to prevent them from escaping.

Barrier Shield

Use it to protect yourself

Barrier Shield helps you protect yourself mid-game. Raise the barrier to defend yourself after being damaged by an enemy. If you haven’t taken damage for more than a second, it will become a regenerative passive for recovery.

Be careful not to break it

Be sure not to break the shield. Brigitte has a barrier durability of 250. The barrier has a cooldown of 2 seconds if broken, making you vulnerable.

Shield Bash

Close the distance with the enemy

Use Shield Bash to close distance for Brigitte who excels at close range combat. Knockback, stun the enemy, and then bring the fight to close range.

Use it as a retreat

Shield Bash is usable by means of retreat. Once every 5 seconds, you can return to your allies while holding up your barrier if you are about to be defeated.

【ULT】Rally

Activate it by falling from a high place

Activate Barrage while falling from a high place. Barrage will stop completely in mid-air once activated, so approach silently from a high plaec and activate it.

Self-destruction when activated at close range

Be careful not to activate Barrage at close range as it will result in self-destruction. The explosion of the missiles will also damage Pharah herself. Therefore, if you activate it at close range, you will self-destruct with your own high firepower. It is better to maintain some distance before activating it.

Ability Combo

Utilize Brigitte's abilities to unleash a high burst damage combo. If all hits connect, quick heroes like Tracer can be solo killed, and even enemies with 200 HP can be killed with a single combo if you manage to land Brigitte's attacks before executing the combo or if your teammate helps in lowering their HP.
