New ‘Overwatch’ hero Brigitte is the daughter of Torbjörn

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. Read more…
