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

negatief statuseffect (toepassen)


Definition from Wikipedia:
Het toepassen van een negatief statuseffect is in videospellen het activeren van een tijdelijke eigenschap op een tegenstander en in het bijzonder op diens uitrusting of wapen(s).

Example sentence(s):
  • Statuseffecten, agressiviteit, nauwkeurigheid en andere zaken worden met deze update aangepast. - PSX-Sense  
  • Deze positieve statuseffecten (buffs - groen) en negatieve statuseffecten (debuffs - rood) kunnen een grote invloed hebben op elk gevecht. - Gaming Fans  
  • Meerdere, verschillende statuseffecten kunnen tegelijk actief zijn op een speler, zelfs in het geval als de dranken tegengestelde effecten hebben zoals Kracht en Zwakte. - Minecraft Fandom  

Explanation:
Hoewel de term 'debuff' in Nederland steeds gebruikelijker is, met name bij MMORPG's, wordt de oorspronkelijker term 'statuseffect' (Engels: status effect) in een aantal spellen (nog) gebruikt.
