This clearly indicates that there is a weak bond between Rek'Sai and Samira that allows them to perform at the top of their game together than alone.

Samira has a greater difficulty than Rek'Sai. That means Rek'Sai players should be very careful when finding Samira allies to play with, as they will have to have a greater level of skill to be able to do well with you.
