debuffed
Temporarily made weaker
Debuffed describes a character or entity that has had a negative status effect applied to it, reducing its abilities or stats.
The term comes from video games, where buffs enhance and debuffs weaken: The boss debuffed our whole party, cutting our attack power in half.
Outside gaming, debuffed describes feeling weakened or diminished: I'm completely debuffed after that meeting.
