Overwatch's 27th hero is finally here, and her name is Brigitte Lindholm, daughter of Torbjörn.
Brigitte is a new tank-ish support hero with a shield and a flail who can deal out damage as well as heal her teammates and increase their armor. Here's a breakdown of her abilities:
Rocket Flail – Brigitte’s melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.
Repair Pack – Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.
Whip Shot – Brigitte throws her flail a long distance, dealing damage and knocking an enemy away from her.
Barrier Shield – Brigitte deploys a frontal energy barrier to absorb a limited amount of damage.
Shield Bash – Once her Barrier Shield is deployed, Brigitte can dash forward to stun an enemy.
Inspire – When Brigitte hits enemies with her flail, she also heals nearby allies over time.
Rally – Brigitte moves faster and provides all nearby allies with armor that lasts until it’s removed by damage.
Brigitte is now live on the Overwatch public test region on PC and will be coming to standard regions on all platforms at a later date.
