When the slot match (STR orb on STR unit for example), the attack will be 1.5 higher than without using the special. That makes a huge difference. Usually, you will bring for some burst rounds 1 unit booster (for PSY, Impact Usopp for example), 1 orb booster (this Coby for example) and some orb manipulator to ensure you get good orbs (for example Tesoro for PSY).

Note that it also reduces the damage in case you have a badly matching orb. For example, if you use Doffy (2x orb boost) on a unit with a matching orb, it will deal 2x more damage. But if a unit has a badly matching orb, it will deal 2x less damage (that stacks with the badly matching orb effect). If you have neutral orbs, then it doesn't change anything.

Note that the boost also works for slot considered matching. For example, if you use a unit that makes TND orbs matching (like Issho), the orb boost will also work on those orbs.
