Hi Guys,
I´ve got last Atlantis the Glorious PROTEUS, and almost maxed!
i´m wondering if anyone could help me in one question.
If we put Sonya and Proteus in same team, and activate Proteus Buff (327 damage over 3 turns, and they can´t gain mana), if Sonya activates her debuff (remove buffs from all enemies), it will applied to Proteus buff?
Thanks guys

Short answer: no, Sonya won’t remove Proteus effect from enemies.
Long answer: Sonya removes buffs from enemies. Buff is a positive effect like increased damage, increased defense of healing over time.
Proteus puts a debuff in enemies. A debuff is a negative effect like blindness, poison, burning and so on.
Your enemy can remove Proteus effect of they have a cleanser - hero who removes debuffs from their allies, like Rigard or Vivica.

Buff: give positive status ailment to opponent or allies
Debuff: give negative status ailment to opponent or allies
Dispell: clear any positive status ailment to opponent
Cleanser: clear any negative status ailment to allies
Remove: is special which is for undispellable status ailment

Your dispell descrition is not accurate!
Should be remove buffs from enemies IMO
GOT YOU!!!
thank you all from the enlightening 
Debuff - reduce abilities of opposing team heroes
Debuffer - hero on your team who inflicts ailments or debuffs to the opposing team heroes
Buff - increase abilities of one’s heroes, by applying special skill or permanently by emblems or innate abilities
Dispel - remove buffs activated by opposing team from opposing team heroes
Dispeller - hero on your team who dispels.
And just to clarify, even though it circumstantially doesn’t always have a positive effect, Spirit Link is always considered a buff. Even when it’s added by an enemy Wilbur.
Thats why I explain like this:
Wilbur skill:
- buff allies with defense up
- buff allies with shared damage
- debuff oppponent with defense down
- buff opponent with shared damage
