Tips and How to Play

Optimize Inspire by Grouping With Teammates

Stay close to your teammates and tell them to group up with you to take full advantage of Brigitte's Inspire passive. This is particularly important to note as Inspire's healing does not pass through solid walls.

Be Mindful When Using Repair Pack

While Repair Packs are effective at healing distant allies, note that each charge has a 6-second cooldown. Prioritize targeting low-health teammates with Repair Packs to maximize their healing.

Use Shield Bash to Move Faster Outside Combat

Brigitte can use Shield Bash outside combat to cover ground quicker and reach allies and objectives faster. However, make sure its 5-second cooldown has passed before you enter combat.

Whip Shot Can Shove Enemies Off the Map

While Whip Shot is great for pushing enemies away and activating Inspire from afar, you can also use it to shove enemies into lethal pitfalls and environmental hazards, eliminating them instantly.

Brigitte Story

Daughter of Torbjörn

Brigitte is the eldest and most mechanically inclined of Torbjörn's children. He helped her grow her skills into what it is today, though she shifted her focus on defense rather than offense like her father.

Squire to Reinhardt

She began her Overwatch journey following the steps of Reinhardt, becoming his squire to help him bring justice to the world just like he and her father did in the stories they told her.

After serving as his mechanic, she realized that she could do more at his side and so she trained and built. Now she has taken up arms to be the shield of her team and to fight for what is right!
