Long Shouren is a Legendary Companion Card designed to put direct pressure on the opposing wizard. Unlike companions that mainly generate resources or control a large group of summons, his value comes from creating a dangerous single-target damage window.

However, Long Shouren is not a companion you should deploy as soon as his card becomes available. He performs much better after the opponent has used important movement, control or removal cards. Your deck must create the right opening and prevent the enemy from simply escaping or eliminating him.

This guide explains how Long Shouren works, the best Echoes and deck templates for him, useful combos, counters and whether he is worth your Golden Keys.

Long Shouren Card Overview

Long Shouren, known as 龙守仁 in Chinese, won the Professor Star event in August 2025. The developers subsequently announced that he would receive a Legendary Companion Card and an exclusive card skin.

The card was officially announced in January 2026 and released on January 7. You can find the original release information in the NetEase Game Assistant announcement.

Long Shouren’s debut promotion presented him as a high-damage Companion associated with defeating enemy wizards. This makes him more of an offensive win-condition assistant than a defensive emergency card.

Exact damage, health and targeting values can change with card level or balance updates. Check the current in-game card description before comparing numerical damage between Long Shouren and other companions.

Can You Get Long Shouren on Every Server?

Long Shouren belongs to the NetEase-operated version of Harry Potter: Magic Awakened. Availability, card names and event schedules may differ between Chinese Mainland, Taiwan, other Asian servers and supported MENA territories.

The Warner Bros. servers in the Americas, Europe and Oceania closed on October 29, 2024. The official Portkey Games support notice confirms that NetEase publishing territories were not affected.

Before spending Keys, check the following information inside your client:

• Whether Long Shouren appears in Magical Studies

• Whether he is currently selected for a rate-up

• Whether pity carries over between pools

• Whether the card skin is included

• Which currency or Keys the pool accepts

Long Shouren was included as one of the selectable Legendary rate-up cards in the April 2026 “幻咒千变” pool. This confirms that he can return after his original event, but it does not guarantee that he is featured in every later pool.

How Does the Long Shouren Companion Card Work?

Long Shouren is primarily used to pressure an enemy wizard during a limited attack window. The goal is not simply to place another unit on the field. You want to restrict the enemy’s movement, force out defensive cards and give Long Shouren enough time to complete his attacks.

His performance depends on four factors:

Target Access

Long Shouren needs a clear opportunity to threaten the opposing wizard. Summons, displacement and battlefield positioning may reduce the consistency of his damage.

Enemy Movement

A player with several movement cards or a Broomstick available can reduce Long Shouren’s effective damage. Force the opponent to move before playing him whenever possible.

Control Support

Inflatus, Incarcerous and other control effects can extend his damage window. They also make it easier to follow his pressure with a damaging spell.

Survival Time

Hard control and concentrated damage can remove an offensive companion quickly. Protection or additional field pressure prevents the opponent from using every resource on Long Shouren.

A May 2026 update also fixed an issue where some Echo stat bonuses did not apply correctly to Long Shouren at specific card levels. This means very old damage tests may no longer match the live version. The correction was included in a balance and bug-fix notice reproduced from the official game account.

Long Shouren Strengths and Weaknesses

Long Shouren is strongest when the opponent has already committed resources. He is less reliable when played into a full hand, maximum movement resources and an uncontested battlefield.

Best Echoes for Long Shouren

Hermione Granger Echo

Hermione is the most straightforward option for a spell-control Long Shouren deck. Low-cost spells help cycle toward your important control tools, while discounted spells provide additional damage during his attack window.

Use Hermione if your main plan is:

• Controlling the enemy wizard before summoning Long Shouren

• Cycling Inflatus, Incarcerous or Expelliarmus

• Following Companion pressure with spell damage

• Keeping a flexible answer to summons and aggressive decks

The main weakness is that Long Shouren remains a supporting threat rather than the deck’s only win condition.

Albus Dumbledore Echo

Dumbledore works well when you prefer to build toward one powerful mid- or late-game turn. Long Shouren can be held until your upgraded cards and saved resources create a stronger finishing opportunity.

This option rewards careful card order and resource management. It is less forgiving than Hermione if you spend your upgraded cards too early.

Weasley Twins Echo

Weasley Twins is the most natural option for a Companion-focused Long Shouren strategy. Instead of relying on one appearance, the deck uses multiple high-impact companions to repeatedly demand answers.

The objective is to make the opponent spend removal on your first threat, leaving fewer resources for Long Shouren or the next recycled companion.

Gellert Grindelwald Echo

Grindelwald can support decks built around tactical Companion deployment, but players should be careful with old guides. A May 2026 adjustment reduced the cooldown reduction granted to offensive and strategic Companion Cards from 3.5 seconds to 0.5 seconds.

Grindelwald may still be usable, but he is no longer an automatic best choice solely because Long Shouren is an offensive companion.

Best Long Shouren Decks

The following builds are practical templates rather than fixed tournament lists. Adjust them for your card levels, seasonal restrictions and the decks you regularly face.

Best Overall Long Shouren Control-Burst Deck

Echo: Hermione Granger

Main Cards:

• Inflatus

• Incarcerous

• Expelliarmus

• Stupefy

• Oppugno

• Broomstick

• Prior Incantato

• Protego Totalum

Companions:

1. Hermione Granger

2. Long Shouren

3. Minerva McGonagall

This build uses cheap spells to cycle and control the opponent. Hermione provides an early spell-pressure opportunity, while Long Shouren becomes the main mid-game threat.

Do not summon Long Shouren immediately after drawing him. First determine which movement and control cards the opponent is using. Force out Broomstick or another escape tool, recover enough Magic Points and then begin the control sequence.

Inflatus is useful for creating the first opening. Incarcerous can restrict movement or group nearby targets, while Expelliarmus disrupts the opponent’s response. Protego Totalum may be used when protecting Long Shouren would create more damage than spending the same Magic Points on another attack.

Stupefy requires careful aim because pushing the target away from Long Shouren can reduce his pressure. Use it to interrupt a dangerous response or push the opponent into a better position—not automatically after every summon.

Best Long Shouren Companion-Cycle Deck

Echo: Weasley Twins

Main Cards:

• Golden Snitch

• Niffler

• Nebulus

• Inflatus

• Stupefy

• Oppugno

• Broomstick

• Protego Totalum

Companions:

1. Ron Weasley

2. Long Shouren

3. Minerva McGonagall

The first companion should force the opponent to reveal or spend an important answer. Ron can clear or disrupt a crowded field, giving Long Shouren a cleaner opportunity later.

Golden Snitch and Niffler support the deck’s resource economy, while Nebulus gives you time to prepare another Companion push. This build is strongest in longer matches where repeated companions gradually exhaust the opponent’s defensive options.

Avoid deploying two major threats without enough Magic Points to support them. A companion that appears on an uncontrolled battlefield can be removed before producing meaningful value.

Long Shouren Dumbledore Finisher Deck

Echo: Albus Dumbledore

Core Cards:

• Golden Snitch

• Niffler

• Inflatus

• Incarcerous

• Expelliarmus

• Prior Incantato

• Broomstick

• Protego Totalum

This deck treats Long Shouren as part of a planned finishing turn. Build resources, improve your important cards and track the opponent’s defensive cycle.

The ideal sequence is to force movement, control the target, deploy Long Shouren and retain enough Magic Points for either protection or follow-up damage.

This build has a higher setup requirement than the Hermione version. If you fall behind early, do not continue saving every resource for one perfect combo. Stabilizing the field remains more important than protecting your original plan.

Best Long Shouren Combos

Inflatus Into Long Shouren

Inflatus creates a simple window in which the enemy cannot immediately walk away. Summon Long Shouren as the control begins, then prepare a second spell instead of spending all your Magic Points at once.

Incarcerous Into Long Shouren

Incarcerous is useful when the enemy is standing near other units or a predictable position. It restricts movement and makes follow-up spells easier to land.

Avoid using it too early. If the control expires before Long Shouren reaches his effective position, the opponent can still escape.

Movement Bait Into Long Shouren

Place a threatening area spell or use repeated cheap attacks to make the opponent move. Once the enemy has spent movement resources, deploy Long Shouren and use control to deny the next escape.

This is often more reliable than opening directly with the Companion Card.

Long Shouren Plus Protego Totalum

Protego Totalum is most valuable when the opponent is trying to eliminate Long Shouren immediately. Protecting him can extend the damage window, but only use the shield if it covers an important position and protects more value than a direct offensive spell would provide.

Teammate Control Into Long Shouren

In 2v2, ask your teammate to begin the control sequence. This allows you to spend your own Magic Points on Long Shouren and follow-up damage.

Both players should focus on the same enemy. Splitting damage between two wizards removes the main advantage of this combo.

Best Companion Order for Long Shouren

Long Shouren usually performs best in the second Companion slot.

As the first companion, he attacks while the opponent still has every defensive option available. This may work in an aggressive deck, but it is inconsistent.

In the second slot, your first companion can reveal the opponent’s removal and movement habits. You can then choose a better Long Shouren timing.

Using him as the final companion turns him into a finisher. This is effective if your main deck can survive without his mid-game pressure, but dangerous if the match ends before the final Companion Card becomes available.

How to Play Long Shouren Correctly

Follow these steps during a typical match:

1. Identify the opponent’s main control and removal cards.

2. Use cheap spells or another companion to force movement.

3. Save enough Magic Points for Long Shouren plus one supporting card.

4. Control the enemy wizard shortly before or as Long Shouren begins attacking.

5. Keep a disruption or protection card available.

6. Follow with direct damage only after the opponent commits to escaping or removing him.

The biggest mistake is spending your entire Magic Point bar on the initial combo. If the opponent escapes, you may have no answer to the counterattack.

How to Counter Long Shouren

Long Shouren is threatening, but he is not impossible to answer.

Preserve a Movement Option

Do not spend every movement card on minor damage. Keep Broomstick or another escape option available when the opponent’s second Companion slot is approaching.

Interrupt His Damage Window

Inflatus, Stupefy, displacement and other control effects can reduce the time Long Shouren spends attacking. A well-timed interruption may be more efficient than trying to defeat him immediately.

Use Burst Removal

If the opponent has no Magic Points left to protect Long Shouren, concentrated damage can remove him before he generates enough value.

Create a Crowded Battlefield

Summons can complicate targeting, positioning and spell follow-up. They also force the Long Shouren player to spend cards clearing the field before beginning the main combo.

Counterattack After the Combo

A player who uses Long Shouren, control and protection in one sequence may have very few resources remaining. Survive the initial pressure and immediately attack while their hand is rebuilding.

Is Long Shouren Better in 1v1 or 2v2?

In 1v1, Long Shouren has a clearer primary target. However, the player must provide control, protection and follow-up damage alone.

In 2v2, a teammate can control the target while Long Shouren’s owner provides damage. This creates a stronger potential combo, but two opponents can also eliminate the companion much faster.

Long Shouren is therefore effective in both modes:

• Choose 1v1 if you prefer predictable targeting and independent combo execution.

• Choose 2v2 if you have a coordinated teammate who can provide control or protection.

Is One Copy of Long Shouren Enough?

One copy is enough to unlock his mechanics, complete related content and test compatible decks. It may also be sufficient for casual play.

Competitive value is more complicated. Card level affects companion damage and survivability, while high-level opponents can remove an underleveled Long Shouren more easily.

Free-to-play players should compare three investments:

• Pulling the first copy

• Chasing additional copies

• Improving the levels of an existing complete deck

Unlocking one copy is easier to justify than repeatedly pulling for upgrades. If your control spells, Echo bonuses and other companions are underleveled, improving the full deck may produce more value than concentrating resources on Long Shouren alone.

Is Long Shouren Worth Pulling?

Long Shouren is worth considering if you regularly play control, burst or Companion-cycle decks. He offers a clear offensive role and can punish opponents who waste movement resources.

He is not a universal must-pull. His value drops when your deck cannot restrict movement, protect him or follow his pressure with additional damage.

Pull Long Shouren If:

• You mainly play PvP

• You use Hermione, Dumbledore or Weasley Twins decks

• Your control cards are already well developed

• You need a Companion that directly pressures enemy wizards

• You enjoy coordinated 2v2 focus-fire strategies

• You also value his character or card skin

Consider Skipping If:

• Your Golden Key supply is limited

• You already own several upgraded offensive companions

• Your deck lacks reliable control

• You mainly play casual PvE content

• You cannot afford to improve another Legendary card

• Long Shouren is not currently featured in your server’s pool

Long Shouren Pull Value Rating

Long Shouren Banner and 100-Pull Skin Explained

During Long Shouren’s original promotional pool, reaching 100 cumulative draws rewarded the “迷罪追猎者” card skin. The debut pool also paired him with the Common Spell “统统归来.”

The 100-draw reward should not be treated as a permanent rule. Rerun and selectable rate-up pools may use different pity, cumulative rewards and cosmetic availability.

Before pulling, confirm whether the current pool includes:

• Long Shouren rate-up

• A guaranteed-copy threshold

• Carry-over pity

• The “迷罪追猎者” skin

• Additional rewards for cumulative draws

An official-account post reproduced by Sina recorded the original 100-draw Long Shouren skin reward. Later, Long Shouren appeared among ten selectable Legendary cards in the April 2026 rate-up pool, as shown in this official game announcement mirror.

Common Long Shouren Mistakes

Summoning Him With No Control Available

Long Shouren cannot reliably create his full damage window alone. Save at least one control or disruption card.

Playing Him Into Full Enemy Resources

If the opponent has maximum movement and a complete hand, they are likely to escape or remove him efficiently.

Overprotecting the Companion

Spending several cards to save Long Shouren may leave your own wizard vulnerable. Let him go if protection would cost more than the remaining value he can produce.

Copying Old Grindelwald Decks

The May 2026 adjustment reduced Grindelwald’s cooldown benefit for offensive and strategic companions. Check when a guide was published before copying its list.

Pulling Only for the Historical Skin Reward

The original 100-draw skin was tied to the debut promotion. Never assume that a rerun includes the same reward without checking the current pool.

Long Shouren FAQ

Is Long Shouren good in Harry Potter: Magic Awakened?

Yes. He is a useful offensive companion for control and Companion-cycle decks, but he requires good timing and support to reach his full value.

What is the best Echo for Long Shouren?

Hermione Granger is the safest general recommendation for spell-control decks. Weasley Twins is better when your entire strategy focuses on repeated Companion pressure.

What is the best Long Shouren deck?

A Hermione control-burst deck using Inflatus, Incarcerous, Expelliarmus and flexible low-cost spells is the most accessible starting point.

Which Companion slot should Long Shouren use?

The second slot is usually best. Your first companion can force the opponent to reveal or spend important defensive cards.

Is Long Shouren good in 2v2?

Yes, especially when a teammate can provide control. Both players should agree on the same target before beginning the combo.

Can you still get Long Shouren?

His availability depends on the current NetEase server and card pool. He has appeared in a later selectable rate-up pool, but players must check the live Magical Studies screen.

Is one Long Shouren copy enough?

One copy is enough to test and casually use the card. Competitive players may need more levels, depending on their opponent range and existing Echo bonuses.

Is Long Shouren worth 100 pulls?

Not for every account. The original 100-pull reward included a card skin, but later pools may not offer it. Pull based on the current guarantee and your deck needs—not an expired launch reward.

Final Verdict

Long Shouren is a strong but conditional offensive Companion Card. He performs best when paired with movement restriction, disruption and carefully timed follow-up damage.

Hermione control decks offer the easiest way to use him, while Weasley Twins provides more value for players committed to Companion cycling. Dumbledore can turn him into part of a larger finishing turn, but requires more setup.

For established PvP players with upgraded control cards, Long Shouren is a valuable pull. For beginners and resource-limited players, completing a reliable main deck should remain the priority. He is a dangerous pressure tool—not a card that automatically wins without the right timing.
