Brightwing's Overview
Ranged Healer with strong global presence capable of continually healing nearby allies without using mana and protect them against enemy crowd control effects, due to her Soothing Mist. Her ability to teleport to an allied Hero across the entire map makes Brightwing a very mobile Hero that fits into a large variety of team compositions.

Brightwing's Talent Build
Teleport Build
The Teleport Build focuses on providing great global mobility, which becomes particularly useful on larger maps like Cursed Hollow, Garden of Terror, or Infernal Shrines. Since Brightwing's talent tree is quite competitive, it is very important to adjust accordingly. At Level 13, for instance, Pixie Power could be replaced by Safety Dust depending on what type of damage the enemy team has.
Arcane Flare Build
The Arcane Flare Build emphasizes Brightwing's unexpectedly strong damage and crowd control when combining several Q-based talents such as Dream Shot at Level 4, Sticky Flare at Level 7, and Hush! at Level 16. Phase Out can be a helpful defensive talent to pick up at Level 16, since casting Blink Heal may sometimes cause Brightwing to get too close to the enemy team.
Brightwing's synergizes and counters
Synergizes
Brightwing synergizes with other global Heroes, such as Dehaka or Falstad in order to create unexpected team fight situations. Furthermore, her great burst heal coming from Phase Shift works very well with aggressive Assassins like Kerrigan or Maiev who need require a lot of protection.
Counters
Brightwing gets countered by crowd control heavy Tanks and Bruisers, such as Anub'arak or Varian who can capitalize on the fact that she has virtually no escape mechanisms other than Blink Heal. Furthermore, explosive burst Assassins like Greymane can cause a lot of problems for her, since most of her support derives from small ticks of healing over time.
