Just did a little bit of testing with my friend shooting my cat in the simulacrum with an unmodded Tiberon. This mod made next to no difference (but some) without an armor link mod/at 50 armor (friend said he was hitting 50s, then 46s with buff), but with just Link Armor on bringing my cat to I think 500, he said he was hitting 26s, and then with this mod and the buff up, he said he was hitting 16s. I think this mod just doubles the companion's current armor value after all mods are calculated. But either way, for sure, yes''' the mod is worth using along with Link Armor. '''Need Synth Deconstruct (and probably Swipe to help it out) to actually get any health orbs to use the buff in the first place, though, since apparently health orbs only drop from containers and drahks/hyekkas/wild animals naturally

tl;dr I'm pretty sure the buff from this mod interacts with Link Armor in a way that makes it reduce damage taken substantially, and doesn't just add 50 more armor. It seemed to double the current armor value of my cat, after all mods were calculated, but I'm only mostly sure of that since I had someone tell me the damage numbers they were seeing and didn't see them myself
