Brigitte specializes in armor. She can throw repair kits to heal teammates, and nearby allies automatically receive healing when she hits enemies with her flail. She can swing her flail to hit multiple targets, or throw a flail strike to stun a distant enemy. In the melee, the barrier shield provides her with protection, while she attacks enemies with a shield blast. Brigitte’s ultimate ability, Fervor, increases her movement speed for a short time and grants long-term armor to all nearby allies.

“I WILL PROVE MYSELF!”

Brigitte Lindholm no longer wanted to just watch, she wanted to take up arms herself to defend those in need of protection.

Brigitte, the youngest daughter of weapons developer Torbjörn Lindholm, was the first of his children to show an interest in engineering. She spent her free time in her father’s workshop, where she learned her craft and honed her skills. Her talent as an engineer was in no way inferior to her father’s. But unlike Torbjörn, famous (and perhaps infamous) around the world for his weapons, Brigitte was mainly interested in making armor and defense systems.

Everyone expected Brigitte to complete her education and follow in her father’s footsteps. But her plans changed thanks to another father figure in her life: Reinhardt Wilhelm, close friend and Overwatch teammate of her father. A family friend and Brigitte’s godfather, Reinhardt told Brigitte stories of heroes and chivalry throughout her childhood. After his retirement and the fall of Overwatch, Reinhardt vowed to uphold justice in the world like the knights of old. Before he could set out on his adventures, Brigitte surprised him by asking if she could accompany him as his shield squire. Reinhardt accepted her offer.

As Shield Squire, Brigitte had many duties, but her most important was maintaining Reinhardt’s Crusader armor (with which she was very familiar, as the current version was developed by her father). But it became increasingly clear to her that her main task was to take care of Reinhardt himself, protecting him from his own exuberance as his body, scarred by years of battle, weakened.

Eventually, she saw that her help as a mechanic alone was not enough and that she could best support Reinhardt as a warrior. While Reinhardt trained her for battle, Brigitte secretly began to build her own armor.

Now Brigitte fights alongside Reinhardt to protect him and anyone who needs her help. As knight and shieldmaiden, Reinhardt and Brigitte make the world a better place with each battle.

OVERWATCH HEROES

Heroes are the main element in the game Overwatch, as the player can freely choose between them and their class and later play them.

In Overwatch you’ll find a variety of heroes: from the time-traveling adventurer to the armored, rocket-hammer-wielding warrior to the meditating robot monk. Each of the heroes plays differently, so mastering their abilities will only unlock their full potential. No two heroes are alike.

In Overwatch you can expect an international team of powerful heroes, each of whom has made a name for himself in his own way.

OVERWATCH

Overwatch is a team-based 6vs6 shooter that was released on May 24, 2016. Overwatch stays true to the true style of Blizzard’s previous titles. It was developed by Jeff Kaplan and is considered a “new concept” shooter in the FPS genre. The game was officially unveiled at BlizzCon along with 12 heroes on November 7, 2014.

The story of Overwatch is set on a highly fictionalized future version of Earth. In a time where humans and robots, which are called Omnics, live together (Chris Metzen hinted that the story deals with this very robot race). 30 years before the time when Overwatch takes place, the so-called “Omnic Crisis ” occurred. The robots, once helpers of humans, rebelled against their creators for reasons as yet unknown and triggered a worldwide chaos. Faced with the imminent destruction of human civilization, the best soldiers of all nations came together to form a program called “Overwatch”.

Their job was to protect the world from the Omnics, which they succeeded in doing. For the next 25 years, they were the protectors of the planet, united in an international coalition. Some agents stayed, some were replaced, but at some point something changed: the Overwatch disintegrated. However, 5 years later after this event, incidents with Omnics are again accumulating, a worldwide terrorist organization also seems interested in destabilizing the world order. A new crisis is looming. At this point, your career as an Overwatch agent begins.
