There is no universally accepted best companion for Gwen that will always be her top ally. Yet, Rek'Sai is a very typical ally for Gwen. By being on the same team as Gwen, he lowers their win rate by -1.0% to 47.1%. This proves that there is a weak synergy between Gwen and Rek'Sai that allows them to perform not as well together than without each other.

When playing together, you will likely observe an overall large increase in your team’s capacity to dish out massive AD. Together, these champs can tear through the other team with a lot of physcial damage.
