A Lindholm through and through, Brigitte’s aptitude for engineering is matched by her sense of honor. From her youth, Brigitte was inspired by the tales of valor she heard from her godfather, Reinhardt. When she came of age, she became the squire to his knight. The two have joined the new Overwatch, hoping to right the wrongs of the world.
Ironclad
The youngest daughter of weapons designer, Torbjörn Lindholm, Brigitte was the first of his children to show an interest in mechanical engineering. Brigitte spent much of her spare time in her father's workshop, learning the trade and honing her skills. Her aptitude for engineering mirrored that of her father's, but Brigitte's primary interest was in armor fabrication and defensive systems, unlike Torbjörn, who was world-renowned (and perhaps infamous) for the weapons he created. Everyone expected that Brigitte would continue her apprenticeship and follow in her father's footsteps. But her plans changed due to the influence of another prominent figure in her life, her father's fellow Overwatch agent, Reinhardt Wilhelm. A close friend of the family and Brigitte's godfather, Reinhardt told Brigitte tales of heroes and chivalry as she grew up. After his retirement and Overwatch's fall, Reinhardt declared that he would become a knight-errant on a quest to bring justice. Before he left on his adventures, Brigitte surprised him by asking to join him as his squire. Reinhardt accepted.
Squire
As a squire, Brigitte had many responsibilities, the most important of which was the upkeep of Reinhardt's Crusader armor (a design she was familiar with as the current version was designed by her father). But more and more, she found her main job was taking care of Reinhardt himself. During a journey through Europe, the duo discovered a village under the heel of a local gang known as the Dragons. In his overenthusiasm, Reinhardt nearly lost the fight. Brigitte did her best to repair his armor with minimal parts, and bandage up her mentor, as his body was breaking down from years of combat. Though Reinhardt was triumphant against the Dragons, Brigitte realized that serving only as a mechanic wasn't enough and that the best way she could continue on their journey was to become a warrior in her own right. While Reinhardt trained her in combat, Brigitte built her own suit of armor. The Overwatch Recall brought them from the ruins of Eichenwald to the streets of Paris, where Brigitte fought at Reinhardt's side to protect him, and any others in need, from the ravages of Null Sector. No matter what threats they face, knight and squire continue their journey to make the world a better place, one battle at a time.
Reign of talon
Overwatch has come to lean on Brigitte's steady support and natural sense of leadership, placing her in charge of welcoming new sibling recruits Wuyang and Anran to the team. But when Talon attacks Watchpoint Gibraltar, her ability to adapt to the situation is put to the test. Luckily, she’s got a few ideas for taking the fight to Talon: some of them furrier than others.
Brigitte Tips
- 1Shield Bash into Whip Shot is Brigitte's core combo — bash to stun, immediately Whip Shot for bonus damage before the enemy recovers.
- 2Inspire healing triggers on damage dealt — fight actively in every teamfight to keep the passive aura ticking for your team.
- 3Repair Pack grants armor on top of full health — apply it proactively to your tank before a fight, not after they've taken damage.
- 4Rally's armor persists through damage absorption; use it just before a push to give your team maximum effective HP for the engagement.
Support Overview
Support heroes are the lifeline of any team composition. While healing is their primary function, modern Overwatch 2 supports are far more than passive healers — many have significant damage potential, strong movement abilities, and fight-altering ultimates. The skill of a great support player lies in constantly prioritizing: who needs healing most right now, when to apply offensive pressure, and when to reposition for survival.
Positioning
Supports thrive in the midrange between the frontline and the team's backline. Too far forward and flankers will pick you; too far back and your healing won't reach your tank. Always maintain line of sight to your highest-priority heal target, use cover to block flanking routes, and position near an escape path when aggressive enemies are nearby.
Strengths
- +Dramatically increases team survivability through sustained healing
- +Fight-turning ultimate abilities that can negate enemy ults or revive the team
- +Boost abilities that amplify allies' damage or speed at critical moments
- +Many modern supports can self-sustain and survive aggressive dives
Weaknesses
- −Primary flanker target — enemy DPS will try to isolate you
- −Healing multiple targets simultaneously creates difficult priority decisions
- −Positioning too far from the frontline means your healing doesn't land
- −Lower damage output compared to tanks and damage heroes in most cases
