Changes

A '''debuff''' is generally a non-permanent attribute added to a unit, affecting it directly or indirectly negatively for a period of time. Such an effect is the [[Barbarian]] [[War Cry]] ability that lowers opponents [[defense]] or other statistics. It applies to targets in an [[area of effect]], but they retain this "debuff" even when they move out of that area.

Another example is the [[Wizard]]'s freezing abilities, which makes units immobile for a few seconds. If the target dies with this debuff on it, it will be crushed into icy bits instead of falling over like a corpse.

The direct opposite of a debuff is a [[buff]], that works similarly, but has direct/indirect positive effects on the recipient.
