KNOW YOUR PROBLEMS

TOUGH MATCHUPS

Heroes that counter Brigitte, strongest first. Tap one to see what beats them.

STRONG1 PICK

Pharah Strong Damage S

Vertical pressure keeps Pharah outside Brigitte's preferred range and forces them to fight on unfavorable angles.

  • VERTICAL SPACE
HOW TO PLAY IT

You can't fight Pharah from the ground. Heal from cover and roofs, and push for your team to pick a hitscan who can contest her.

PERK PICK Lean

MinorMorale BoostMajorInspiring Strike

Pharah plays as a recon, so anti-air and range matter most. Inspiring Strike brings mobility. Minor perk: no direct answer here, Morale Boost is the all-round pick.

GOOD4 PICKS

D.Mon Good Tank S

Mobile frontline pressure and a frontal barrier let D.Mon contest Brigitte's space without giving them easy angles.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't whip into D.Mon's barrier. Stay with your team and punish from angles off the barrier, or reposition until it breaks.

PERK PICK Solid pickDefault build

MinorMorale BoostMajorWhiplash

D.Mon plays as a stalwart, so anti-barrier and area damage matter most. Morale Boost brings area damage; Whiplash brings burst.

Junkrat Good Damage A

High burst and area denial punish Brigitte for entering predictable paths or fighting in confined space.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Avoid narrow chokes where Junkrat spam lands. Take wider routes and stay near your team instead of walking into his traps alone.

PERK PICK LeanDefault build

MinorMorale BoostMajorWhiplash

Junkrat plays as a specialist, so mobility and burst matter most. Morale Boost brings area damage; Whiplash brings burst and anti-flank.

Ramattra Good Tank C

Sustained frontline pressure forces Brigitte into an extended fight where disengaging cleanly is difficult.

HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't get stuck in an extended brawl with Ramattra. Peel and back out when his team commits, then re-engage when his pressure fades.

PERK PICK Solid pickDefault build

MinorMorale BoostMajorWhiplash

Ramattra plays as a stalwart, so anti-barrier and area damage matter most. Morale Boost brings area damage; Whiplash brings burst.

Reinhardt Good Tank S

Shielded approach and close-range pressure reduce Brigitte's poke value and force a direct brawl.

  • CLOSE-RANGE MAPS
HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't poke into Reinhardt's shield. Play near your team, peel when he swings, and back off rather than fighting him head-on alone.

PERK PICK Solid pickDefault build

MinorMorale BoostMajorWhiplash

Reinhardt plays as a stalwart, so anti-barrier and area damage matter most. Morale Boost brings area damage; Whiplash brings crowd control and burst.

SITUATIONAL1 PICK

Baptiste Situational Support D

Timing and team support matter. Well-timed ranged pressure punishes Brigitte's movement and reduces the safety of open repositioning.

  • MAP OR COMP DEPENDENT
HOW TO PLAY IT

Don't cross open space in Baptiste's lines. Move between cover and wait for your team to engage before stepping into range.

PERK PICK LeanDefault build

MinorMorale BoostMajorWhiplash

Baptiste plays as a tactician, so burst and duels matter most. Whiplash brings burst. Minor perk: no direct answer here, Morale Boost is the all-round pick.
