I need help.
Zarya has always been a great counter to Brig for me. She basically canât drop her shield unless she wants to get melted by high energy, and even so the Right Click splash damage completely negates her shield.

None lmao. Zarya stands the best chance but canât be considered a counter. Rein can beat her in an entirely 1v1 scenario, but when the team is there she controls him.
Reinhardt can smack her brains in, Hog can occasionally get a sweet hook in.

Reinhardt is the best tank for pressuring a Brig, but no tank counters her. She counters tanks.

Rien, Zarya, Hammond to an extent, Winston can place pressure on her but itâs a unfavorable match up, dva should only pounce on her like other targets to finish her off quickly.
Only one who rly rly struggles is hog since he needs to be in her effective range, she can juke his shots while easily hitting hers, can stun after shield bash, and armor is not his friend
she literally destroys hog.
Zarya: Prevents CC for herself and one of her teammates
Roadhog: Hook and kill. Heal outside bash range
Rein: Fire strike from distance. Charge her/kill her with 2-3 hits from his hammer
Orisa: Fortify when shes close then halt her further and kill Brig with your primary

Rein will win 90% of the time in a straight up swinging match, so once sheâs used bash then just crush her.
Zarya can use her bubble to block her bash combo and then punish Brig with her beam or pressure her with her ult fire.
D.Va can melt her shield with her rockets and then out range her with her cannons and use her rockets to escape once Brig gets too close.
D.Va and Winston. When Brigitte is in their range, they just escape and she canât do anything about it.
This^
From what I understand (and this could be wrong, so someone correct me if need be), Reinâs hammer is one of the few weapons among the tanks that isnât affected by Brigâs armor, or if it is, not to the same extent as the other weapons.
Youâll definitely have a bad time against a brig as winston, orisa, hog (Iâve honestly not tried d.va against brig).
Iâm reading that Zarya can do some work against her, Iâll have to try that out.
umm, how?
56 dps and 155 damage combo with 7 sec cd against 600 hp tank with strong close-range damage and ability to heal 300 hp.
The only reason she ruins Reinâs day is because itâs a team game.
1v1? Rein obliterates Brigitte with less effort than all of the other Tanks.
6v6? Brigitteâs threat level increases tremendously.

That is only if you describe a 1v1 dual game, then literally anyone else can 1v1 Brigitte. Hog cannot 1shot Brigitte, so hooking a Brigitte is a big mistake unless you hook her into your team for focus fire. When playing Brigitte I feel pressure from Winston Tesla if he dived with his team or take high ground, Rien with proper support, and maybe a high charge Zarya sometime. Brigitte has her team too, she doesnât need to engage in unfavorable 1v6 in a straight line and out in the open.
Due to her shield, self healing and armor in her base health pool.
She can cancel anything Hog does, tank through an entire clip thanks to her armor/shield/self heal and stun cancel his self heal. Aside from that, playing Hog against a Brig means that most of your hooks will be useless against all her team mates thanks to the armor.
Armor completely screws shotguns over.
Every pellet gets affected by the armorâs damage reduction.

Brigitte hard counters Zarya lmao.
Zarya beam weapon doesât do nothing against Brigitte Shield, in fact Zarya struggle really hard against anyone with a Shield, thatâs why your team NEEDS a shield against Zarya and not D.va.-Roadhog.
Brigitte has armor Zarya doesnât.
Brigitte Stun shield has less CD than Zarya bubble so is guaranteed a stun on Zarya
Brigitte has Life steal per hit Zarya doesnât
Brigitte Hits faster than Zarya
Brigitte has a burn combo (150-190 hp depending)
Brigitte with Rally can just walk+hold m1 against Zarya and solo her even a 100% charge
Zarya ultimate does nothing against Brigitte
Learn to play the game first before spreading information like this.
Rein and Zarya can deal with Brig at full health unless she uses Rally.
D.va can burst out brig before she starts regaining a lot health if sheâs already lost about 40% of her health.
The others donât do so well. You have to be very accurate with Hog to take her out. But you can if youâre good enough with him. If Brig is smart though you probably wonât kill her.
Have you ever played 100 charge Zarya against Brig?
That literally doesnât matter when you have high charge.
By the time Brig has a second stun youâre going to have killed her if you have more than 60 charge.
So? High charge Zarya just negates that.
Again, high charge Zarya
âŚDo you play this game at all?
Sounds like you should play Zarya first before spreading misinformation.

1v1 hog is one of the best thing Brig could wish for, she gains ult charge so much that she doesnât even want to kill him completely. Hog canât bypass Brig shield with his gun, so he has to burn through 500 shield, and if Brig is good with alternating shielding and healing she could get infinite hp, and even if she makes a mistake it s not the end of the world, hog canât 1shot her reliably. Meanwhile she can cancel hogâs breather anytime she wants, and she can circle while flailing the hog making it harder for hog too.
That is the point that the OP failed to clarify; everyone seems to be talking about two different scenarios - to me, few tanks have issues with her in a 1v1 situation. Rein alone can completely waste her but when people say she counters Rein, they often mean âshe creates a window for her whole team to kill the Rein withâ or âshe pressures him to drop his barrier, allowing her snipers to do their jobâ. If Rein was being pocketed by Ana or his DPS helped peel for him and there are no snipers, then Rein could drop his barrier and overwhelm a frontline Brigitte.
When it comes to other tanks vs Brigitte:
-
Hammond - Love playing him against her; you have to respect her cooldowns and space but she alone should never cause you any trouble and like with Rein, you can really force her out of position. If you donât pay attention though, she can stun you for her team.
-
Roadhog - 1v1 feels like Dark Souls. Both of you are trying to bait out the otherâs skill. I always feel like Brigitte has the advantage but I tend to miss my shots under pressure as Hog. You canât afford to miss anything against a good Brigitte because she will just cancel your breather. Team settings; Hog can pull a Brigitte into his team and keep her barrier broken/do damage with rmb. 1v1 settings; donât run towards her or hook her. Rmb and kite her. Donât get too close when you ult!
-
Zarya - She is at her strongest in a team setting so 1v1 wouldnât work unless you are cleaning up after a team fight. Her rmb from high charge can pressure and kill Brigitte easily and her beam can melt her too. Being able to bubble her targets can also net you a ton of charge + protect your teammate.
-
Winston - Great pressure in a team setting. I would never 1v1 her. She will begin to regen her health in the first couple seconds and that health is armor vs Winston who will lose his armor in the first few seconds. Being pocketed helps though!
-
Orisa - I donât normally have experience playing Orisa vs Brigitte; when I do, it feels like a Hog situation where I am trying to land every shot on a jumping Brigitte. That is only when she is in your face, however; at range, you have plenty of tools to support your team and Brig gets less value stunning you vs Rein.
-
DVA - The rockets, shotguns and getaway skills you have makes Brigitte feel less like a threat. I guess to me, it feels similar to Hammond - is Brigitte stopping DVA from doing her job? Is she respecting Brigitteâs cooldowns? Often times, Soldier/Mccree/Pharah ults take place away from Brigitte so DVA can fly in interrupted and block them. If you are trying to fly in and pressure the supports, Brigitte can peel and add armor.
