The ULTIMATE Brigitte Guide in OVERWATCH 2
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ธ.ค. 2024
- Brigitte may seem easy but she’s got a lot of quirks and interactions that you need to know to succeed on Brig. Overwatch 2 has made her a whole new character with all new priorities and interactions without her stun. Let me go into detail because this hero is still a great pick for carrying although it is much harder in Overwatch 2. Don’t worry I got you though. This is the ULTIMATE Brigitte Guide Overwatch 2 Style.

A tip specifically against Sojourn- a lot of sojourns will charge up their railgun shot by shooting your shield, and will go for the shot when they see your shield go down, since they assume they broke it. A way to counter this is to drop shield when it looks cracked, then quickly bring it back up. This tricks the sojourn into thinking your shield is broken, and they waste their railgun charge on your shield instead of you. Of course, you should find cover first, but.
Love it
Doesn’t rail Pierce shields?
@@Pimp482 Nope, it doesnt go through shields but it does gain 1 charge per pellet on the shield
@@Pimp482the ult does I believe
I use this when I'm rien, glad the same principle applies lol
Idk if anyone did or didn't know this, but you can cancel the bash animation with the flail throw or with a health pack. It has pretty niche use cases but if you are in a situation where you need some big damage quick you can basic attack, cancel after damage is put out with a shield bash, and cancel that with whipshot and it outputs all of that damage practically instantly as long as you have good timing. It makes what would normally be, for example, 6-7 swings on a regular 200 health character down to 2 swings and then the swing, bash, whip combo. Essentially putting out 200 damage in 3 regular swings. As long as you don't need your cooldowns at the moment it's great for taking out someone who is trying to flank or is overextended when your team isn't able to handle them. I know it's got me out of plenty of deaths when a sombra is trying to flank and I turn around and give her the unexpected 3 tap kill.
coool!
thats the combo i use. Its all in though.
@@dawong85 Yep that's the only issue with it, can only use it when you're sure you don't need any cooldowns immediately. It is for sure all in.
Might try this on a the reapers that keep forcing me off Moira (brig has become my backup support for when I'm against a dive team or getting flanked by characters like genji or reaper)
I'm having just as much fun playing the new brig. The added bash distance is so nice for positioning and survivability. It didnt take long to realize you couldnt fight with tanks anymore. Even with the playstyle switch, she's still my favorite support with the most carry potential and potgs. She's also just the only support that feels like they can really defend themselves against the more ruthless support focusing right now. The original brig guide helped me out so much back then. Thank you shift!!
Couldn't agree more!
Baptiste and Lucio
Don't be fooled you can still fight with tanks. I would say I'm a pretty good user with her but I think yesterday i reassured myself of that. I had this trash team man, and we lost the first round 100 to 0. And I was soo pissed so we went into that second one and I kid you not we ended up winning the game cause I was basically carrying my team which was sad. But I almost killed a sigma with full health and a Mercy healing him. I died but left him with 100 or 50hp
She's such a vibe to play, trying to get better at her. Thanks for the guide.
you got this!
Honestly, even if you're with the losing team, she's still fun to play.
She gives vibeplay like junkerqueen for tank
I would add that Brigitte's a nice soft counter to Rein since bashing his pin will stun both of you, but he's in the middle of your team. If he's not dead by the time you get up, whip him so you're just out of his attack range and you survive. It's not a hard counter, but it denies Rein pins and in higher ELO where they know this, it forces them to keep their distance or switch
i agree
Brig hard counters Rein, it's kinda nuts, just play slightly out of his range and bait his hammer swings
Why I play her sometimes just to f over a rein
There's no rush like saving a teammate from a Rein pin
I had this interaction happen to me the other day and I was so confused when we both just dropped stunned lmao
Great guide. The hardest part for me is not playing hyper aggressive lol. I often end up playing her like a second off tank in the frontlines, but can commit too deep sometimes
DEEE-FENSIVE
Same, i juste feel so invincible behind her shield sometimes. And when i see an enemy genji fleeing toward his team, i can't help but chase him );
daz why u sux
I use her to bully the enemy supports... Not really front line kinda flanking... Usually with a rein or Winston... I find she works great in a dive comp if you pay enough attention
I really feel like i can't do much unless most of my team is attacking already, or if im helping a damage out in a 1v1/2v2. At least that's how it's been turning out for the past 10 matches i've had. Whenever we get the upper hand and I act agressive, i check my surroundings and disenage immediately if no one is fighting/near me. In my opinion, It's better to help others before fully engaging by using repair kits and shield to block damage for yourself and them until the real fighting starts. This is random lol but i have 2 side notes.
1. Rally is AWESOME. As a beginnner brig, at first I had no idea wtf to do with it lol at first, i assumed it kept everyone alive, but it keeps ME alive and helps me attack consistently wether im by myself or with the team. each scenario is different, that's why im glad ShiftKid explained its use very well. i have a completely different mindset now when I use it.
2. From my experience playing mercy, healing/damage boosting brig is definitely worth it. she isn't as squishy! plus damage boosting her is so satisfying. It also seems easier for brig to push up and attack with the team. I've healed/Boosted a couple good brigs and they thanked me for prioritizing them. This strategy is pretty good overall but as mercy, you should always know when to prioritize so you can get great value from everyone in general. im waiting for the day i play brig and someone does the same for me as mercy lol.
Fun fact about brig bash, if you use it on rein charge or Doomfist punch it knocks you both over. It is also a great way to "dive onto the grenade" by bashing in front of a dva or rein ult to save your team
Yea no duh, the video clearly states this
I'd love to see Brig's inspire range like with Lucio. It's super annoying to have to kinda guess where exactly inspire ends and sometimes wanting to go just that bit too far in the front to heal allies in-case the range is fairly range
It's rather big, I believe it's twice as big as Lucio's radius, around twenty meters, but I could be very much wrong
It’s 20m. The same distance as your whipshot.
Brig space for healing is x1.5 Lucio heal radius
@@DNYLNY that's good to know, but I can't ping my teammates to see the distance
Another tip is to shield bash junkrat's tire. It's a one shot and if for any reason you miss, you can block all the damage with your shield
Ahh true true
RIP-Tire is 100 HP and Shield Bash does 50. It ain't a one shot and it's a risky maneuver.
This was phenomenal. I literally started playing OW two days ago and I’ve been maining Brig with some level of success after watching your stream. I have trouble figuring out when to actually enter the melee and attack and feel like I’m playing *too* defensively… but hopefully it’ll come in time.
this character is the most fun support to me i was a mercy main but i just feel like brigitte brings more challenge and it just feels more good when i win with her thanks for the guide it help me so much
Been really looking forward to this guide, I appreciate the work you've done! The main thing I learned from this is that having inspire up 100% of the time isn't a priority lol. I've gradually learned the other facets on my own such as utilizing cover, paying attention to the shield health, looking around, best way to utilize shield bash, and who I should and shouldn't engage. But sometimes i'm so concerned about having inspire up for the team that I move away from cover to whipshot someone and either end up killed or seriously hurt, so bringing that up was a huge help.
thanks so much for writing thiss!!!
Great video, an ultimate guide that actually lives up to its name as you cover pretty much everything. So many ‘only guide you need’ hero videos just cover the abilities and basic tips. Learned a lot here having not played OW in a few years.
For console brig players: The equivalent to Shift's Melee button rebind is switching the primary fire and melee buttons (swap Right trigger with left thumb stick button)
ooh okay great!!
Wait, what difference does this remind make on brig tho?
@@zc8673 with standard binding you have to take your finger off RT before putting shield up or else you will immediately bash. With new binding you can hold right trigger and shield at the same time without bashing. Helps to avoid accidentally bashing at bad times
On pc if you hold down left mouse and shield, nothing happens, when you unshield youll continue swinging
0:17 you should brig yourself, NOW!
LMFAOOOO
I don't play much OW anymore these days, but as someone who was in GM and played with you few times back in the day, I'm glad your YT is popping off!
Something this guide seems to ignore is the synergy brigitte has with aggressive frontline tanks like Reinhardt, Junker Queen, and Orisa. While I understand the sentiment behind the "defensive, don't mess with tanks" recommendation, I find running brigitte aggressively against enemy tanks alongside your own tank can allow you to SHRED those enemy tanks. Obviously you need to be careful of your positioning, but I find that there is certainly an aggressive playstyle that, while slightly risky, can pay massive dividends and win fights outright.
Maybeee
I feel like this playstyle is more viable at lower ranks. As long as you arent dying/getting punished, you can keep it up until you climb high enough that it becomes an issue
It doesn't "ignore" them because these synergies generally don't exist, outside of Junker Queen. I hate to be rude but if you think her 35 damage per flail and 15hp/s inspire contributes ANYTHING to a Rein vs. Rein tank mirror you cannot be higher than gold. Instead you want to help out dps on flanks/angles against squishes where your damage IS actually useful, and/or control angles and high ground where either your dps wants to set up or where enemy dps wants to setup. The only time you are going with your tank is if there is nothing better to be doing or you have rally.
Wow, thank you so much for this excellent guide! Normally I would play Mercy, but since I queue with a full time Mercy main I decided I need another support to play. Brigitte is the only other support I vibe with, but after a few games it was clear I was doing something very wrong! Your guide confirmed that indeed my entire playstyle was incorrect. I have a long road ahead of me to actually improve my Brigitte skills, but at least now I know what I'm supposed to be doing lol. Much appreciation for this!
this is very helpful! i just got into overwatch so i can play with my friends from work, but i dont want them to know that i literally just started playing and am very bad. this information is exaclty what i needed to be okay enough to not look like an idiot in front of my friends. thank you so so much!!!!
Playing Brig one time hooked me into playing with her more. This guide was a big help but I'm still learning
yuhhh
Appreciate the updated guide. Your videos always help me to notice my own mistakes.
thanks for watching!
THIS IS AN AMAZING GUIDE!!!!Idk if this will be seen but This video is 2 years old and theres an entirely New Meta in Season 9 and Im a Diamond 4 support right now (Moira) whose trying to learn Brig and this video CHANGED HOW I USE HER ENTIRELY I LEARNED SO MUCH THANK YOU!!!!
Such a good guide, thank you. So many people I play with think Brig has to be constantly playing with the tank (or tanks in OW1) and frontlining.
Idk if you said this, but booping DVa is also really nice to displace her flight, especially during her dives and escapes. Just yeah, don't boop to safety.
Yuhh
Enjoyable guide! Never liked her in OW1 but really enjoy her in OW2. I found myself doing everything in the video already just... half-assed! This has helped me pinpoint and realise more!
Oh man I've been looking forward for this! Thanks for the content and guide Shift!
THANKS FOR LIVING ALEXXXX
As a long time Brig main, this guide was a good bit of info to switch up my playstyle from the aggressive off-tank she was in OW1 to the more defensive peeler she is now.
Been looking forward to this!!!
YAYYYY
It Wasn't covered here, but brigs shield bash can still stun rein if hes charging. if you see an over eager rein charging into your team, you can immediately stun him for everyone else.
Thank you so much for this guide Shift! I got to diamond 4 bc of it. I'm gonna continue working and try to improve more. I always come back to this so I can refresh my mind on what I should/should not be doing with Brig.
3:20 That D.v.a denial was insane.
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
ITS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
The moment I saw the depth of this guide I subscribed…Thank you for this free content.
Yay thank youu!!
Can't forget that Brig is a deeeeeeefensive hero!
TRUEEEE
THE ultimate Brig guide again. I have waited so hard for the OW2 update to your OW1 Brig guide. Thank you.
Yuhhh
Omg this helps so much I was TOTALLY using my bash wrong up til now. TY as another Nrig main to another . This helps a lot and I will soon look at your other guides for more guidance. Subscribed ❤
I feel like Sigma could be added to the list of tanks to look at since Brig can block Sigma's primary fire as well as the giant boulder he throws if you're careful. Most of the time when I have to deal with a Sigma while playing Brig it feels pretty easy as long as I block his boulder and he isn't being pocket healed.
Great video! I did want to add that if you find yourself facing Roadhog, you can actually counter his hook with your shield. I personally spam shield between normal attacks so I can defend and attack at the same time then use Whipshot to create distance
Yes you can nice! I didn’t have enough time to add every hero interaction. Video for that soon hehe
She´s by far the funnier support to play, thanks so much for the guide, I´ll try to play her defensive I always end up in the enemy backline
Hahahha
This is really helpful!
this was SUCH an informative video, thank you so much!
I'll keep those tips in mind, since I play her very badly, almost like an off off off off off reinhardt.
The best Brig guide ever made
THANK YOUUUUUU
I’ve also found that Brig is a pretty good counter to Sigma if he doesn’t have rock. Sigmas primary does damage to himself as well so he can’t risk hitting you so up close.
I never played Brig before OW2. She somehow became a lot more appealing, especially with the queue constantly forcing me to play support lol.
Thank you! I watched your OG guide when I was getting into Overwatch 2, week 1. I even started loading up on skins for Brigitte because she just seemed like so much fun. Unfortunately, I didn't actually see all of her reworks, so I was playing her like with a sudo-OG playstyle until a friend pointed it out smh
hahahaha glad you watched then!
"Brig is a DEFENSIVE hero"
Me, who has been running brig like a damn DPS: "Oh that makes more sense"
Hahaha yuh
I love that you are actually reading and replying to pretty much every content, keep up the great content!
Thank youuu
This is incredibly helpful! I had been practicing her Just played my first ranked match ever with her and got flamed HARD. I realise now I was making a lot of mistakes that you’ve gone over, mainly shield bashing tanks and attempting to shield damage a lot alongside the frontline
Thank you for this guide. Made me realize just how much I got used to OW1 Brig and how I still play like her instead of this new iteration.
That's super intresting ! I used to play brig a lot during OW1 when she was kind a dumb, but not now anymore because i find her very weak since OW2.
After this video i realize that Brig is a totaly different character. She was a very offensive character before, now she's very defensive, i want to try it ! Thanks !
I’ve recently been getting better with brig and understanding her more. This video added a lot more depth! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
As someone who played World of Warcraft back in Mists of Pandaria, I feel like she plays like a cross between a Warrior and a Holy Paladin, definitely feeling the vibes.
I also found out randonly but if you bash into an oncoming reinhardt charge it will stun him (and yourself). So far it only works if he's charging at you (or an ally) head first. You cant stun him from the side or the back, you have to be in front of him. Only from what I can tell :)
Great vid! Climbing from bronze to gold with brig spam was a great time but now getting bodied- the point about being defensive really landed!
Yessss
daz why u sux
thanks for the great guide. i'm currently transitioning from moira being my main to more birgit. i also found out that clipping upper edges of terrain while shield bashing can give you a small boost to get even further. i still have a lot to learn, i'm still pretty recklessly diving onto the enemy support and tbf i never actually read what inspire does lol
Great guide, myself I had more luck playing her hyper aggressively and flanking sides, I win 9 out of 10 fights with the other supports and I can juggle tanks and DPS, if I play defensively I just try to counter bash Reins, Dooms, other Brigs and stand by my other support or shield bash in front of people who are about to die to take some heat off, but 75% of the time, I'm flanking, I mostly give it due to the fact that I run with a Sombra or a Zen most of the time, so the DPS race seem to be how we win
Hey Shift! Nice guide!
I was thinking on some Brig buffs(and other supports). If you can, tell me what you think🙃
Brigitte:
• Barrier Shield: Health increase to 300hp.
• Shield bash: No longer triggers Inspire, instead creates a instant burst healing of 50hp.
-Cooldown increase to 6 seconds.
-AoE decreased to 15 meters.
• Whip Shot: Can now be activated whem Barrier Shield is up.
● Rally: Now gives a total of 150 overhealth with a generation of 40 overheath per second.
That sounds crazy
@@GageMason I know hahaha, the only change I really wanted is the Rally one, the others are more to strengthen Brig.
@@chateau_guillard 300 hp shield and she's basically a tank at that point haha. As much as I'd love all of those buffs I Def think they're a bit much. The burst heal from shield bash could be neat, but I almost feel like buffing her rally like that would basically be giving her a similar ult to Lucio. They'd be super similar in character design at that point. I'd almost rather her ult go back to granting armor instead of overhealth.
@@GageMasonyeah, I also think the temporary armor should go back to both her and Torbjorn, I put 150 because I don't think they would put it back... But I really like Brig being a bit of a tank🙃
hehe sounds fun but she really doesnt need any buffs
Love this, good guide. Number one, most crucial tip in the whole thing? Use shield almost always for mobility, and learn to turn 180 and bash away when in danger.
Personally don't have much issue against tanks or in playing aggressively, aggression and unpredictable movement gets enemies flustered and can make a big difference in a one on one
Your tip about not always needing to trigger inspire was enlightening thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video and love your vocal inflection. Really good effort.
Thank youuu!!
Great guide! I've always been a mercy MAIN since the original game launched. Now with OW2, I feel I need a change and after playing I decided to focus on Brig.
Any chance of getting an updated guide? Even a short would be great
Since I have been watching your videos I started using her and I’m having so much fun , she is my main now and it’s fun when you know what to do , I hope to get better of course, there are some characters that with her are such a pain but I will learn , thanks for the guide.
you got this!!
I'm learning her because she's currently the fastest hero you can use to do multiple weekly challenges at once, Block Damage, Healing and assists.
Amazing! Have been waiting for this video, thanks so much for the incredibly informative video!!!
Yes!!! Been looking forward to this, thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
I really needed this guide, I'm used to playing with a group of friends so Ive kinda gotten used to the team diving since we're coordinated
The way I knew what the opening would be word for word xD
HAHAHAH TRUE
Thank u very much for this😊
Ive been trying to get better at Supports and this helped alot😄
Went in expecting a barebones guide but this was really helpful! Thanks! Always hated Brig but now I realize I was just playing her wrong.
Thanks so much!!
This was really insightful! You have 'inspired' me to try her out in my games now
Yuhhh
What a wonderful video. I’ve played for a long time and this the best video for brig I’ve seen. Very good 👍🏼
Thank youu
You can save your tank by bash through them, keeping your shield up, and backing off. Plus the one two three of bash, whip, and retreat to heal tank. You can also save your party from DVa's self destruct by bash up next to it and keeping you shield up. You can ALSO use rally to eliminate troublesome tanks, but it's risky. Piggy backing off Kiriko's ultimate into Rally can be absolutely devastating.
thx! I'm loving Brig now that i know how she works. your videos are awesome!
Thanks for watching!!
Thank you Shift! Your wonderful and informative content is always appreciated.
YOURE AMAZINGGG
You are my reference on Brig in OW2. Ty so much for this guide ^-^
youre amazinggg
Feel she is way underrated at this point.
Truree
A lot of people nowadays like to say that brig is the weakest support cause she's only good at the backline bodyguarding the other support, and then l always bring up this guide to tell them that she is still as strong as the other supports and can be played closer to her tank (if not diving/overextending) so that she can also support it as well as the other squishies behind her.
Plus, the fact that you can alternate between repair packs and whip shot inspires most of the time means that she can also end up with good heals throughout the game while also making extra space for the team, picking off overextending squishies _and_ being outright undying between whip shot shoving away threats and shield bash being low-key good at getting away from them.
She's a legit sleeper pick that most just tend to shrug off cause "muh stun tho", which is a shame when someone like zen is arguably in a worse state than her.
keep up with the good guides. i feel ow2 is growing since the other fps games like apex is doing so bad rn. i left apex for ow2 and im surprised with the lack of content creators for ow2
I've been making brig since I first started playing overwatch 2 and as someone who hasn't properly experienced overwatch 1 Brig is so fun to play especially on a controller where my aim is not as good but it makes it fun to dance around tanks or bastion brig is great to punish players who get to close
DUDEEE!! So much GOLD in this vid. Thanks, fixed many of my bad habits
I feel bad cause I covered her in a recent guide and just absolutely roasted her by starting off with I didn't even know she existed as no one uses her lol
Lmaoooo
Super helpful! I love Brig so much and as a noob to the game, this is super helpful. Surely full Mercy guide next!
Love this vid I always thought brig was boring and weak but I tried playing her and it was fun as hell
Thanks for the tips! I'm a new player and she's definitely my favorite hero right now. Didn't know she could actually block so much like Sombra's hack or Hamston's ground pound.
Lololol
Thank you, I needed this so much!
Brig is great at killing dva, dva when firing has a slower turn speed and if you get right next to dva and keeping circling her she can only partially hit you with her primary fire and it keeps her distracted from the objective and your team. I’ve killed so many dvas doing this but the primary issue is if the dva has a pocket healer or your alone and the dva has teammates then her teammates can easily kill you. If you have teammates you can melt a dva and because your already right next to her when her mech dies you can finish her off before she can even consider running away.
Exactly, Brig can 1v1 DVA pretty easily so long as you know to circle and jump around her
This Guide just helped me save a Game, Thanks!
Yesss!!
I did not know using more healing packs didn’t heal quicker just healed longer, I’ve been using too many on one hero at a time to try and save them. This is definitely gonna help me in the future to manage them better
This is a great video! Covers all the bases
i sometimes just go off on my own because i get sidetracked by some low health enemies
but its sometimes so fun to just charge into the other team
Against Tracer, if she pulses the middle of the outside of your shield, I'm pretty sure you can look downward before dropping it and it won't stick to you, at least if you're not also jumping forward while doing so. if someone could test this, that would be fantastic
Yass, finally. I really wanted to know your perspective on her playstyle.
yessss
Holy shit the way I started winning with brig after this guide ty so much!!! she’s so fun if u play her right, before i would get shit on by everyone but now im feeling confident playing her
youre amazinggg
the only thing brig needs is one of 3 things either a tiny baby boost to dps, or maybe better healing, or like 50 more health like torbjiorn. that way she has just that little bit extra cushion to help with things like tanks or longer ranged damage sources.
Nah she’s still fine the way she is
Great video! I myself still find hard not trying to always have inspire up
You can do it!
I'd argue that Brig's Ult is the most team-based ult. It feels SO good to pop rally and have people stick with you and just ROLL the other team with a ton of inspire. Also.... Brig x Kiriko Ult is AMAZING you should try it. Brig can take on any tank if there's that ult combo, and she gets heals from Kiri.
I feel like the tip at 11:04 is so important, I can't believe I missed it in the first watch through.
thank you for uploading this
Haven't played for 6 years. Brig is certainly a lot harder... wtf did they do to her shield. :( But this video was so helpful I managed to place in silver with very little practice. Thank you for saving me from elo hell!
