Overwatch 2 has finally arrived, bringing all of the original heroes over to the revamped sequel. Changes to gameplay, including the switch to 5v5 with only one tank, means that some heroes have been improved or have become more viable. One of those heroes is Brigitte, who had been nerfed into oblivion in the original Overwatch. Here's how best to play the melee-focused support hero Brigitte.

Brigitte overview

Brigitte is a support hero with abilities that make her almost feel like a tank. Armed with a melee weapon, Brigitte primarily heals by hitting enemies, which causes her to heal herself and others around her for a limited amount of time. She also can throw repair packs to heal enemies that are far away and she has a shield that can protect her from a limited amount of damage. She can charge with her shield to deal damage and can do a ranged attack with her weapon that knocks enemies back. Her ultimate ability provides overhealth to herself and everyone in the circle around her.
