"Not sure what nerfed means."

When something in a game receives a balance change that makes them worse in one way or another. There are direct nerfs and indirect nerfs, indirect nerfs are when a change to (for example) a game mechanic indirectly makes a character worse as a result, for example, 50% glitch was a glitch where every new Monster released after a certain point had their skills with a 50% chance to do something become 100%, this made Monsters such as Kihaku and Xiron the Ruby have three AOE Deny Skills, not only that but Voytek (who is a Tank Monster with an AOE 50% Freeze) abused the glitch as well. It got nerfed and as a result Kihaku got, indirectly, absolutely roflstomped by nerfs.

That's pretty much a way more complicated than it needs to be explanation on nerfs. tl;dr a nerf is when something in a game receives a change that makes said thing worse, whether directly or indirectly.
