Do Passive Armor Ups work with Defensive Measures AQ Choice Node?

Just got Shuri and see that she gains passive armor ups so was wondering if she works with the Defensive Measures Node that reads:

Defensive Measures: While Blocking, the Attacker gains Block Proficiency based on 50% of their Current Armor Rating. While the Attacker has at least one Armor Up Buff, performing a Well-Timed Block Power Burns the Defender for 15% of a Bar of Power, dealing Direct Damage proportionate to the amount of Power lost.

Sounds like it probably won’t since it says “buff” but just want to be sure.

Your final statement is correct. Armor Up passives are not Armor Up buffs, so you would not get the power burn.

I imagined as much. That sucks. Would have been amazing for that path.
