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

Debuff


Definition from Wikipedia:
Insieme di abilità o incantesimi volti ad diminuire le caratteristiche, sia offensive che difensive del personaggio, o a limitarne la libertà di azione per un certo periodo di tempo, come ad esempio: confusion, slow o silence

Example sentence(s):
  • Con il termine Buff si intende un potenziamento temporaneo o permanente di alcuni parametri come l'attacco o la difesa. Diametralmente opposto è l'effetto del Debuff, che consiste in questo caso in un depotenziamento. - Everyeye  
  • L'efficienza è un concetto abbastanza semplice da pensare: ottenere il massimo con il minimo sforzo. I buff e debuff, se usati, devono dare al giocatore una possibilità di scelta tra velocità e danno, ma entrambe le decisioni prese devono essere "giuste". - fieldofview90  

Explanation:
Dal momento che "buff" viene spesso tradotto come "potenziamento" (a seconda delle linee guida), "debuff" di conseguenza potrebbe anche essere tradotto come "depotenziamento", se si vuole utilizzare un termine italiano.
