Buff
,no edit summary
A '''buff''' is generally a non-permanent attribute added to a unit, affecting it directly or indirectly for a period of time in a positive manner. Such an effect is the [[StarCraft]] [[Science Vessel]] ability to shield units, reducing the damage they receive for a period of time, or damage dealt. It applies to a single target but it retain this "buff" even when they move around.
The direct opposite of a buff is a [[debuff]], that works similarly, but has direct/indirect ''negative'' effects on the recipient.
