- Health reduced from 200 to 175.
- Armor increased from 50 to 75.
Developer Comments: Brigitte's durability can be limited due to operating at close range. We're shifting a portion of her health into armor to improve survivability.
- Now grants 12 instant healing on trigger.
- Healing over time reduced from 60 to 45.
Adding a burst of instant healing when Inspire is triggered allows Brigitte to provide more immediate healing while rewarding players for consistent Inspire triggers.
- Now propels Brigitte backwards in her facing direction when impacting the environment.
- Now allows Brigitte to dash into the air.
- When used, Brigitte is first lifted into the air by an invisible Jetpack Cat and vanishes from the battlefield. Brigitte can then target a location to drop onto. After landing, Rally is automatically activated.
There’s little to no point of playing Brigitte if you can’t close the distance to the enemies, so all of her changes are aimed at making her not just viable, but also a threat on all maps and against all comps.
- Whiplash – Major Perk
- Damage increased from 50 to 60.
Aura Farming - Power
- Overhealth reduced to 4% (Down from 5%).
Burst Aid - Power
- Reworked from "Ability: Using [Reload] consumes all [Repair Pack] charges. For each charge consumed, heal 25% of Max Life and 10% Attack Speed for 3s. (10s Cooldown)" to "Ability: Use [Reload] to consume 1 [Repair Pack] charge and heal for 20% of Max Life and gain a burst of 50% Move Speed. (3s Cooldown)".
Optimizer - Power
- Self Heal reduced to 4% (Down from 5%).
God Ray - Power
- Damage per meter increased to 5% (Up from 4%).
Nullifier Neuroworks - Epic Hero Weapon Item
- Category changed to Weapon (from Survival).
- Added 10% Attack Speed.
Galvanized Steel - Epic Hero Survival Item
- Cost increased to 11000 (Up from 9500).
Brigitte has been consistently very strong in Stadium since her launch. We're tuning down her survivability in her Powers and buffing up some of her weaker options.
- Added a custom UI element showing how many allies are currently being healed by Inspire.
- This UI element can be toggled on/off in Brigitte's Hero Options.
- [Repair Pack] Duration bonus decreased from 50% to 25%.
- Health increased from 250 to 300.
- Cooldown refunded increased from 0.5 to 0.75 seconds.
Brigitte’s survivability can feel low despite needing to operate in close range to be effective. Increasing Barrier Shield health gives her more flexibility and better supports her defensive role.
- After Shield Bashing, Brigitte begins surfing on another shield for 3 seconds, increasing her movement speed and jump height.
- Shield Bash's cooldown begins once the shield surfing ends.
- Cooldown reduced to 3 seconds.
Why stop at 'shield bash' when you can also 'shield surf'?
- Scavenged Steel - Epic Ability Hero Item
- Reduced Ultimate Charge gain on Ability Damage to 2% (Down from 3%).
Scavenged Steel has been an outlier in enabling her Rally oriented builds, so we're tuning it down to be more in line with her other build options.
Repair Pack
- Cooldown reduced from 5.5 to 5 seconds
Brigitte’s healing output can sometimes feel limited compared to other supports. Reducing Repair Pack’s cooldown provides more consistent healing across all situations.
Whirlwhip - Power
- Bonus Damage on 360 Rocket Flail swing increased to 125% (Up from 100%).
Righteous Cleave - Power
- Healing on next Rocket Flail swing increased to 125% of damage dealt (Up from 100%).
Brigitte's Weapon Power build has remained niche and difficult to justify over her other build options. We're adding a bit more firepower and survivability here to make it a more viable option in the right situation.
