The Nocturne Samira synergy stats shown here demonstrate the areas of his gameplay that do better (or worse) when paired with Samira, compared to his overall stats. Significant differences are areas of focus that highlight how his gameplay changes when paired with this other champion.
Overall, Nocturne sees a very large drop in his KDA (ratio of kills and assists to deaths) when paired with Samira. His KDA decreased from NaN to NaN. This decrease shows that Samira helps Nocturne perform not as well in competitive League games. Yet, the small difference indicates that this performance change is only marginal.
When Nocturne is paired with Samira, he gets a small decrease in his full damage dealt. This could signal that Samira does not support by providing protection for him to deal more damage or that her presence also helps extend the round's duration. Similarly, when Nocturne is played together with Samira on the same side, he usually scores many fewer killing sprees than when he plays on his own. This is contrasting evidence that he is worse when playing alongside Samira.
Additionally, when Nocturne plays with Samira on the same team, he on average takes a little less damage than when he plays alone. Taking not as much damage could mean that Samira does a decent job of covering Nocturne in team fights.
There is no top champion pairing for Nocturne that will 100% of the time be his top teammate. However, Samira is a below average companion for Nocturne. By locking into the same side as Nocturne, she lowers their win rate by -1.7% to 50.1%. This demonstrates that there is a bad bond between Nocturne and Samira that allows them to perform worse together than alone.
