English term or phrase: (to) debuff
Definition from Cyber Definitions:
Debuff means Harmful Effect On A Character in an online gaming context. A debuffis an effect placed on a character that negatively impacts their statistics and characteristics. Debuff's can be inflicted by the system or by opposing players.

Example sentence(s):
  • After reaching 3 debuffs, both Players and Parties cannot gain additional debuffs until at least one of their current debuffs expires. The Seven
  • Unless otherwise stated, debuffs cannot stack with themselves, with repeated applications upon the same target simply causing the debuff duration to reset and not incurring increased effectiveness. All debuffs are either temporary or conditional and do not persist after the affected target's death. League of Legends Wiki
  • Blue Ban is a tad weaker than his counterparts, and is more a debuffer than an actual fighter. His Critical Pierce skill is very strong, especially against tanks, but that’s pretty much all he offers aside from his passive debuff, which can be easily countered. BlueStacks

减益


Definition from baidu:
DeBuff是魔兽世界等网络游戏以及英雄联盟、Dota2等竞技游戏中的游戏术语。对一个单位或多个单位施放的，具有负面效果的魔法，使之战斗力降低，与Buff相对，又称为给角色实施的各种减益的魔法效果，减少角色的属性和能力，部分DeBuff可以被驱散。

Example sentence(s):
  • DEBUFF，亦即减益型辅助状态、不良状态，指的是游戏中用于降低角色的能力而施加的辅助状态。 在RPG类、FPS类、ACT类、FTG类等多种游戏类型（包括单机和网游）中，角色战斗时（或进行游戏设定的其他行为时），可以给敌方施加（或被敌方施加）一定的特殊减益效果，降低角色的某种数据，从而使得角色在战斗中或其他行为中，被削弱能力。这些减益的不良状态称为“DEBUFF”。与之相对的概念为“BUFF”（增益型辅助状态、良性状态）。 DEBUFF一般指的是减益状态本身，但有时也用于指施加减益状态时所释放的技能，此含义请参见技能(游戏术语)条目中的“辅助技能”。 - gengbaike
