Brigitte guide

Brigitte is a support.

Recommended comps: Dive · Bodyguard

One habit to change: Treat Bash as your escape first, and Bash in only when the target is low, their answers are spent and your team is close.

Good into

D.VaWait for Boosters to finish, then Whip her for the full distance.
ReaperWhip him away and Bash out rather than trading.
TracerStay within Bash distance of her target and Whip her blink-in.

Struggles against

RamattraVortex slows your escape, Nemesis punches through your shield, and Whip barely delays him.
PharahStays high and far and farms your shield and your team.
OrisaCloses distance, can't be knocked back while fortified, and pulls you in with her ult.

Best maps

Maps full of rooms and short corners: Nepal, Busan, Lijiang Tower
Flashpoint, best on New Junk City and Aatlis

Playing against Brigitte

She only wins up close. Fight her from range or from the air, and once her shield breaks she has nothing between her and your damage.
