02 · KNOW THE OPPOSITION
See who forces a difficult fight, why they do it, and which pick can help.
PharahPressures BrigitteExposedVertical pressure keeps Pharah outside Brigitte's preferred range and forces them to fight on unfavorable angles.
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.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against Pharah. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

BaptistePressures Brigitte, SombraExposedTiming and team support matter. Well-timed ranged pressure punishes Brigitte's movement and reduces the safety of open repositioning.
Don't cross open space in Baptiste's lines. Move between cover and wait for your team to engage before stepping into range.
Baptiste's ranged pressure and defensive tools make isolated Support Sombra aggression costly.
Prioritize Hotfix on allies and leave Baptiste's defensive zone. Cyberspace creates an output-reduction window, not an automatic elimination.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against Baptiste. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

D.MonPressures BrigitteExposedMobile frontline pressure and a frontal barrier let D.Mon contest Brigitte's space without giving them easy angles.
Don't whip into D.Mon's barrier. Stay with your team and punish from angles off the barrier, or reposition until it breaks.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against D.Mon. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

JunkratPressures BrigitteExposedHigh burst and area denial punish Brigitte for entering predictable paths or fighting in confined space.
Avoid narrow chokes where Junkrat spam lands. Take wider routes and stay near your team instead of walking into his traps alone.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against Junkrat. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

RamattraPressures BrigitteExposedSustained frontline pressure forces Brigitte into an extended fight where disengaging cleanly is difficult.
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.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against Ramattra. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guide
ReinhardtPressures BrigitteExposedShielded approach and close-range pressure reduce Brigitte's poke value and force a direct brawl.
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.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against Reinhardt. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.

WinstonPressures SombraExposedWinston can pursue Support Sombra after she spends Translocator; she no longer has normal Hack to stop his mobility.
Keep Translocator until Winston commits. Move toward your team and use Cyberspace to reduce his output while allies help you.
Our counter guide does not recommend Brigitte / Sombra against Winston. Use the advice above to play the matchup, or explore another pick in the guide.
See the full counter guideBrigittePressures SombraExposedClose-range peel and displacement can pressure Support Sombra when she steps into an enemy backline.
Stay in healing range of your team. Save Translocator for disengaging from Brigitte instead of spending it to start an isolated duel.

Brigitte IS BANNED

You lose Brigitte's best counter option in these matchups:
Brigitte was your swap here.
Melee pressure, knockback and peel reduce D.Va's dive value even when Defense Matrix is active.

Team peel can help allies leave Zarya’s beam range; this does not make Brigitte a safe solo duel.

HOW THE COURT SCORES IT
Hero Pool Score: practical matchup coverage, balanced against every 2-, 3- and 4-hero pool in your role. Each size gets equal weight. The score combines that standing with your actual coverage, so being a great pair does not hide big gaps. It is a matchup guide, not a promise of wins. Season 5 includes conditional kit inferences for new and reworked heroes; this percentile compares the listed graph, not observed match results.
Coverage: Strong threats count for 1 point, Good for ½ and Situational for ¼. Your best listed answer covers all, half or a quarter of a threat respectively. Conditional answers help, but do not erase a weakness. Shared threats count for each hero they pressure.
Among pools your size: the secondary percentile shows how efficiently you use your slots. Top 10% means your coverage beats roughly nine out of ten pools with the same role and number of heroes. Ties share a rank.
Next heroes: the first option brings the largest useful gain against your current threats. The second offers different coverage. Each must also improve the coverage rate of the resulting pool, including its new weaknesses. With four picks, we test replacements and name the hero to swap out. Options are alternatives, not a promise that both belong in the same pool.
Map, execution and team composition still matter. Missing matchups are unknown, not proof of safety.
