Hey, Guys, It’s Librarian Husky here, today we’re talking Brigitte, huge guide, let’s break it down!

Understanding Brigitte’s Role in Overwatch

Brigitte, a unique hero in Overwatch, does not fit neatly into the traditional support categories. While some supports focus solely on healing, others prioritize team utility. Brigitte occupies a middle ground, combining elements of both. When playing as a main healer like Ana or Baptiste, the primary goal is sustaining the team’s health.

In contrast, off supports such as Lucio provide less direct healing but offer diverse ways to support the team beyond health restoration. For example, Lucio can manipulate speed, disrupt enemies, and mitigate damage with his abilities. Brigitte’s healing capabilities are limited, emphasizing close-quarters combat for effective healing or using her E ability for burst and sustained healing.

Brigitte’s versatility stems from her ability to heal while actively engaging in combat. Her E ability provides immediate and gradual healing to allies, facilitating sustained frontline presence. This unique playstyle requires players to balance offensive actions with supporting their team through healing. Understanding Brigitte’s hybrid role is crucial for maximizing her impact on the battlefield. By mastering her abilities and adapting to various situations, players can effectively leverage Brigitte’s kit to excel in Overwatch matches.

Understanding Hero Strengths and Weaknesses

So, it’s not that good. She has neither good healing output nor a good helping effect for your team. Then why should someone play her? Because in the right hands, she can actually be quite good. Playing with your tank gives them a chance to play more aggressively because you provide passive healing simply by damaging an enemy hero. Yes, you can heal your team by hitting the enemy because of your passive ability, which heals you and allies when you hit someone. However, it’s not as simple as it sounds. You’re risking your life by engaging in a fight with the enemy team’s front line. You have to think fast and know when to fight and when to run away. In short, you need to know how to play with your tank, otherwise you will be killed every time.

Okay, I’ve given a brief explanation about her and little things that can improve your gameplay. It’s not that much, as I said, it will be only a short guide. So let’s see how to play against each role. Some tanks are easy to 1v1 and win against, while others can destroy you in a second. So you need to know which tanks you can safely fight and which you cannot. But remember, some players can perform extremely well on tanks that you can easily beat.

Let’s look at the good tanks whom you have an advantage against. D.Va, Doomfist, Sigma, Roadhog, and Hammond. In my opinion, these tanks are easy to play against, and you can easily counter them. If you’re wondering which tank is the easiest to play against on this list, it’s Snfis. He has low health and can be sent after charging his punch, which allows you to hold him for a while. The others are also easy to play against if you are not playing carefully, you might still get beaten by them easily. You just have to check their abilities and seize the opportunity to attack. Most of the time, though, you can beat them without any problem. But if you die, don’t blame me. It’s your fault, kind of.

Let’s take a look at some tanks that are difficult to play against, but sometimes you have an advantage, sometimes you don’t. So it’s kind of 50/50. Winston, Hazard, Zarya, and Junko Queen. They can be lethal if you don’t play well.

Best Strategies Against Tank Heroes

Winston can be a significant threat with his ability to deal damage while you’re shielded and his agility to escape. Hazard poses a risk with his ability to trip you up and deal substantial damage, especially with headshots. Zarya becomes a force to be reckoned with when fully charged and protected by her bubbles. Dealing with a well-equipped Junko Queen can be challenging due to her abilities, particularly the E ability. To succeed, you must anticipate and react to the enemy tank’s movements and abilities. Timing is crucial – strike when their defenses are down, but always with support, as tanks are formidable opponents.

Facing off against tank heroes like Orisa, Marga, Ramata, and Reinhardt requires a strategic approach. While overpowering them may be tough, countering their abilities or evading them is key. For instance, disrupting Orisa’s javelin throw, dodging Reinhardt’s charge, or maintaining distance from Ramata can give you an edge. Understanding their patterns and knowing when to engage or retreat is vital. Maneuver with your team, exploit their weaknesses, and capitalize on opportunities while staying protected.

Transitioning to a more team-oriented playstyle, heroes like Brig shine when supporting tanks. Safeguarding your tank from enemy threats and neutralizing flankers are pivotal. Your role involves shielding your tank, aiding in both offensive and defensive maneuvers, and adapting to the situation. While you function as a secondary tank, your focus shifts to team protection if the primary tank falls. Utilize your abilities strategically, maintain a defensive position, and disrupt enemy advances. Prioritize survival by leveraging your strengths and minimizing exposure to ranged attacks through smart positioning and teamwork.

By following these strategies, you can effectively navigate encounters with tank heroes and contribute significantly to your team’s success.

Playing with Brigitte

So you shouldn’t try to 1v1 Ashe, Widowmaker, or any hero like them. So is Brig’s playstyle entirely based on playing with her tank? Actually, no. Sometimes your tank might pick a hero who can play quickly and flank the enemy, meaning you can’t play with them.

If they pick a tank like that, what should you do? Blank them. For years, I’ve learned that sometimes you need to act like a tank, and sometimes like a damage, or sometimes you just play in the background with the other support. You need to look at your DPS and see if the other supports are being attacked by the enemy team.

Besides acting like a tank, protecting your support or helping the damage, there’s nothing more you can do. Now we’ve covered the first two important things. From now on, I’ll give you some advice.

I should remind you that using abilities and playing Brigitte on different maps can differ. Some people tend to play more safely, while others tend to play more aggressively. It is completely up to your playstyle. I’ll show you how I play with her. Nevertheless, this will help you in general.

Each hero has unique abilities that determine how you play throughout the match. Some heroes are better suited for ranged combat, while others are better in close combat. Brigitte is a character who must be played in close combat. You have no choice. Your kit depends on your passive ability, Inspire. If you damage an enemy, you’ll give your allies a heal for 4 seconds, and your allies will get 15 heal per second.

In other words, you have to play in close combat. That’s why you’ve got to stick with your tank, use your M1, and hit as many as possible. Your whip shot and shield bash also trigger this passive. If you can’t play in close combat because you’re taking a lot of damage from the enemy team or your tank is playing too aggressively, you can use your whip shot to trigger Inspire.

You can even extend the duration by picking Morale Boost, Minor Pack, which extends the duration when the whip shot is ready. So when should you use whip shot? If there is no diver or someone’s jumping on you, or the other spot, use whip shot as much as you can. It’s a short, only 4 seconds cooldown.

Brigitte’s Abilities Breakdown

So if you manage to hit every whip shot, you’ll always have an active passive ability. You can also use it in a more straightforward way, like if a diver is jumping at you, helping you to get some distance, or even sometimes, investing the ultimate. Now we’ve got two abilities and an ultimate, Life Shield Bash and Repair Pack.

First, I want to talk about when to use Shield Bash. It’s got a small feature that helps you move faster, but that’s it. And sometimes you can damage enemy shields, can knock back enemies a bit further, and deal 60 damage. You can combine it with whip shot to deal even more damage. Shield is usually used to move faster, get to a safer spot, or get closer to an enemy.

If you see their health is pretty low, you can also use it to stop enemies’ charge ability, which can save you and your team. But you have to be careful, because you and the enemy will be stunned for 1.7 seconds. So who can you knock down? Reinhardt‘s charge, Rocket Punch, Bob charging, and another Shield Bash from enemy Brigitte. This will knock you both down. If you want to stun an enemy, you have to wait for your ultimate to actually stun them.

Now let’s talk about the Repair Pack. This ability is the most important kit for Brig. Remember what I said about being only when you can activate your passive? Sometimes you can get close enough to activate Inspire. You can only heal with Repair Packs or Whip Shot to attack the enemy from a distance to trigger your passive ability. But usually, you can’t even use Whip Shot because the enemy’s attacks are so intense.

If that happens, you’ll need to use Repair Pack. It has three charges, and each one takes 5.5 seconds cooldown. It heals slowly. Keep in mind that you can only heal 25 instantly and 100 over two seconds. Obviously, your tank, damage, and the other spot will need healing, but you only have three charges. What are you going to do? Let me break it down for you. Okay, just kidding. Let me explain. If you can activate Inspire, you’re stuck with Repair Pack until you do.

Mastering Brigitte’s Healing

You have to keep an eye on everyone’s health bar and heal them before they hit a critical health level. Why? You can’t heal quickly, and they will be healed slowly. If you send your Repair Pack to an ally, let’s say they have half a life, and you send it to them, they will be healed at 25 instantly and 100 over time, which will make their health full. But if you send your pack to an ally who’s at critical health, they might not make it until the heal effect is fully applied. So you understand what I’m trying to say. You might be worrying about the tank. If they have half of their health, it’s best to use two Repair Packs instead of one, which will heal them 50 instantly and 200 over time. That should keep them in the game.

If you have no problem by activating Inspire, then you don’t have to worry about Repair Kit. As long as you are using them carefully. And with that, we’ve talked about Brigitte’s abilities. Now, let’s talk about her ultimate, Rally. It’s great for both pushing and stopping the enemy team. It works great on both sides. Rally gives you 100 armor and 100 over health for your allies. It also makes your Shield bigger, so you and your team can get 10 extra seconds of survivability, which is how long Rally lasts.

You can also stun enemies when you use your Rally. Yes, you can stun them by using Shield Bash. You can use it twice because of the Shield St. cooldown. So when should you use your ultimate? Sometimes you can stun the enemies for a bit to give your team a leg up. You can also use your ultimate to stop enemy teams’ advance, or if there’s a hero who might have a game-changing ultimate and you need to stop them. Even so, for me, you’ll probably use it well when you feel something’s off, or you’ll see it actually works pretty well most of the time. So it’s kind of your hunch. But sometimes you’ll fail or even die. Doing well? Don’t worry, though. You can only learn a character by playing and dying a lot.

Mastering Brigitte: Tips and Perks

So if you feel like you are stuck in the same position, failing every time, and thinking, “Oh, I’ve been playing Brigitte for hours, days, or even weeks, and I’m still so bad. Even pro players mess up when it comes to their main hero. There’s no need to worry about being so good, because there is no competition. Well, actually there is, but as long as you’re enjoying, you should play a hero who you are having fun with. I’m not sure why I’m making a guide for Brig since she’s my main. I just wanted to give you some tips. I admit that my tips might not even be that good. But anyway, here we are.

Okay, let’s look at Brigitte’s perks, which will also be our last subject for her. Brigitte’s perks are actually situational. Unlike some heroes, you can use different perks for each match depending on how it goes. Let’s start with the minor perks. There’s Barrier Restoration, which gives you a speed boost for a short time when you use your Shield and restores shield heal when you hit an enemy. There’s also Morale Boost, which makes Inspire 3 seconds longer when you activate it with Whip Shot. They are both solid options, and the best one to use just depends on how you’re playing in that match.

If you’re playing on a big map and playing with close combat allowed, you can pick Barrier Restoration to move faster and restore shield health when you hit an enemy. It usually works best when played with Reinhardt, D.Va, or Winston, who needs to play at close range. On the other hand, Morale Boost is a good perk if you can activate Inspire with your melee, use Whip Shot, and activate Inspire for 7 seconds, which also saves your Repair Pack sometimes.

Now let’s talk about the most important perks, Major Perks. Quick Fix is great when your team takes a beating and is always at critical health, making Repair Pack even more useful. If something like this happens, this perk will save your team a lot with its instant 35 heal boost to critical health allies. You can heal them by 60 right away. Repair usually only heals 25 instantly, which isn’t enough to save someone. But with this perk, you can save your Repair Pack to critical health for allies. We Flash is another great perk for combat, but it can be tricky to use since you have to slam enemies into walls.

But if you manage to do that, you’ll damage 50 extra, making Whip Shot almost deadly. You can mix this with Brigitte’s classic combo, M1, Shield Bash, Whip Shot, and M1 again. This combo isn’t usually lethal, but if you pick this perk, you can kill anyone with less than 300 health. Just remember, you have to knock the enemy back to a wall to activate it. Otherwise, you’ll only do 70 damage, not 120.
