Brigitte specializes in armor. She can throw Repair Packs to heal teammates, or automatically heal nearby allies when she damages foes with her Flail. Her Flail is capable of a wide swing to strike multiple targets, or a Whip Shot that stuns an enemy at range. When entering the fray, Barrier Shield provides personal defense while she attacks enemies with Shield Bash. Brigitte’s ultimate ability, Rally, gives her a substantial short-term boost of speed and provides long-lasting armor to all her nearby allies.

Brigitte is a versatile support hero who specializes in providing armor to allies. Unlike other supports, she is a front-line unit who provides protection similar to tanks rather than staying on the backline. The large healing aura generated by Inspire makes her most useful when her team stays together. Despite her strength in close combat, she has little to no means of harming the enemy at range. If hacked, she has almost no means of helping her team at all.

Weapons & Abilities
INSPIRE [Passive Ability]: Brigitte will heal allies around her whenever she uses her Rocket Flail or Whip Shot to damage enemies. The health increases over time.

This ability is mostly the reason why Brigitte will be with her teammates.
Allies must be within range when Brigitte does damage for the healing to activate.
Healing has a slight, linear falloff the further she is from her ally
ROCKET FLAIL [Primary Fire]: Brigitte's melee weapon has an extended range, enabling her to strike multiple enemies with a single swing.

While damage is low for her Rocket Flail, it has a faster fire-rate than Reinhardt's Rocket Hammer, meaning she can still do quite a bit of damage.
Like Reinhardt, this replaces her quick melee.
For maximum damage and healing output, position yourself such that an enemy is standing within 3 meters and to the rightmost portion of your screen. Animation cancel the flail with the shield immediately after the flail makes contact.
REPAIR PACK [First Ability]: Brigitte throws a Repair Pack that can heal an ally. Any healing over that ally’s maximum health provides them with armor instead.

This has a medium cooldown, so it is best to use it on half to critical health allies, as if used wrong it could cause important allies to be eliminated
After 5 seconds, the added armor is automatically destroyed.
WHIP SHOT [Second Ability]: Brigitte throws her flail a long distance, dealing damage and knocking an enemy away from her.

The knockback from this ability can be useful in preventing overtime from starting.
This ability activates Inspire when it damages enemies.
Brigitte's speed is heavily decreased while whip shot is out
Mechanics:

Her Rocket Flail has a very long second half animation, you can easily cancel this into a Whip Shot to increase your DPS.
She is most vulnerable while using Whip Shot as it cannot be cancelled with her shield. The animation duration varies depending on the distance at which the Whip Shot makes contact (if at all).
BARRIER SHIELD [Secondary Fire]: Brigitte deploys a frontal energy barrier to absorb a limited amount of damage.

While the barrier has a good amount of health, it generates more slowly than Reinhardt's and is smaller in size. The shield is too small to cover a lot of people. Use it to protect yourself or a Mercy who is resurrecting a fallen ally.
SHIELD BASH [Alt - Secondary Fire]: Once her Barrier Shield is deployed, Brigitte can dash forward to stun an enemy.

This can be used to disrupt Ultimates such as McCree's Deadeye.
This can be, but is not recommended, used as a mobility tool as as last resort. The distance covered is relatively small.
Combined with whip shot, Brigitte can deal a large amount of damage to an enemy
Mechanics:

Brigitte can also use small obstacles as ramps - Bashing them and jumping just before contact will give the player Vertical Momentum, Whether this is a bug or a feature is not confirmed yet.
RALLY (Ultimate): Brigitte moves faster and provides all nearby allies with armor that lasts until it’s removed by damage.

Unlike her Repair Kit, the armor stays on allies only until it is destroyed.
Only Brigitte receives the speed boost.
