Buffed is a term to describe the strengthening of a veteran character's attributes when making a sequel, to make the specific character more balanced. The opposite of buffed is Nerfed.

For Example: From Melee to Brawl, Zelda is slightly quicker, Din's Fire was improved, and some attacks were made more powerful.
