The ULTIMATE Brigitte Guide in OVERWATCH 2
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 окт 2022
- 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
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.
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
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 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
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'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
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.
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
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
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.
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!!!
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
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.
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.
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!
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
Appreciate the updated guide. Your videos always help me to notice my own mistakes.
thanks for watching!
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.
Thank u very much for this😊
Ive been trying to get better at Supports and this helped alot😄
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!
Amazing! Have been waiting for this video, thanks so much for the incredibly informative video!!!
Been looking forward to this!!!
YAYYYY
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!!!!
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 ❤
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.
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!!
Thank you, I needed this so much!
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.
Playing Brig one time hooked me into playing with her more. This guide was a big help but I'm still learning
yuhhh
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
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
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!
Yes!!! Been looking forward to this, thanks so much!
You are so welcome!
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
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!!!!
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.
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
thanks so much, this really helped a lot ❤
This is a great video! Covers all the bases
Super helpful! I love Brig so much and as a noob to the game, this is super helpful. Surely full Mercy guide next!
This is really helpful!
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 for uploading this
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!
Great tips! Thanks!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!
ITS HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
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
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
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.
Can't forget that Brig is a deeeeeeefensive hero!
TRUEEEE
Feel she is way underrated at this point.
Truree
thx! I'm loving Brig now that i know how she works. your videos are awesome!
Thanks for watching!!
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 !
Ty for this guide although a little late it helped me alot as ive just started
This Guide just helped me save a Game, Thanks!
Yesss!!
Thank you Shift! Your wonderful and informative content is always appreciated.
YOURE AMAZINGGG
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
Love this vid I always thought brig was boring and weak but I tried playing her and it was fun as hell
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!!
i love these guides so much! super helpful :) do you plan on making an OW2 guide for zenyatta perhaps? i’ve really been wanting to improve my zen but im having trouble making an impact on my team (healing, dmg, etc.)
Awesome guide! Super helpful :D
The moment I saw the depth of this guide I subscribed…Thank you for this free content.
Yay thank youu!!
THE ultimate Brig guide again. I have waited so hard for the OW2 update to your OW1 Brig guide. Thank you.
Yuhhh
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.
You are my reference on Brig in OW2. Ty so much for this guide ^-^
youre amazinggg
DUDEEE!! So much GOLD in this vid. Thanks, fixed many of my bad habits
Let's Goooooo ! Thank you for the guide
No problem 👍
Thanks. I learnt a lot
Glad it was helpful!
Your tip about not always needing to trigger inspire was enlightening thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
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
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
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.
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
3:20 That D.v.a denial was insane.
This is very helpful. Made me realize my mistakes. Thanks!
Yuh yuh
I was watching your other vid covering brig w the advice to use bash strategically. sometimes and maybe just it's just in casual but using it for the knock back seems pretty handy. bashing opponent off their course kills the momentum, and then you can finish or push more with whip. or even run back to cover it pushes a good amount.
Sure if you find you’re getting value with it
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 :)
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!
Finally! I'm a new player to the game, but have been watching my friends play since OW first came out. I have not been able to find an OW2 relevant video on Brig to pick up things that can be useful in for OW2. I immediately clicked with Brig and the new support role, especially off-support. I like the half-support half-tank thing she has going for her.
Yuhh
Yass, finally. I really wanted to know your perspective on her playstyle.
yessss
Great video and love your vocal inflection. Really good effort.
Thank youuu!!
thank you holy shift kid !
Very good video and well explained 👍 I don’t actually never use brig but after this vid I may give her a bash 👍
Do ittt
I love that you are actually reading and replying to pretty much every content, keep up the great content!
Thank youuu
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.
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
The way I knew what the opening would be word for word xD
HAHAHAH TRUE
Thank you king! Love you!
You're welcome!
yooooo this guide is so in depth
thank youuu!
I never played Brig before OW2. She somehow became a lot more appealing, especially with the queue constantly forcing me to play support lol.
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
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
@holyshiftkid Thank you so much for all your Brig guides! Would you consider doing another ur2gm after the upcoming support nerf and now that rally is different? I learnt ALOT from your ur2gm, but I would love to see how you deal with different elos with the changes. It's super high value educational content since you explain your thought process so well ❤
Great guide! 🙏
Thank youu
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
Great vid as always - what would you say her main role is now in OW2? I understand this isn’t the best measure for success but should there be an average dmg/healing number I should aim for ? (Maybe dmg - healing ratio) or inspire uptime?
This helped so much, thanks :) I actually do 1v1 against dva, if you jump around while doing so, the dva won't hit you as much and especially not with all the projectiles, just wanted to say that.
Nonetheless, getting away is smart, I'll keep it in mind
