Red Lanterns[]
Red Lantern
At the start of the event, the player will be greeted by the Snake Warden in their Home Village, who will introduce the player to the event.
Outside the village, a Snake Shrine is placed, which produces Red Lanterns at a slow rate. It appears in the clearing where the Clan Games cart usually spawns.
Red Lanterns can be won in Multiplayer Battles. In every battle, three random buildings will glow brightly. Damaging or destroying these buildings will award the player with Red Lanterns.
Red Lanterns cannot be lost once accumulated; any Red Lanterns that opponents manage to loot off the player would be newly generated by the game.
Loot penalty from attacking players with a lower Town Hall level will not apply to Red Lanterns.
Red Lantern Rewards[]
Red Lanterns can be accumulated to progress a special rewards track exclusive to the event. These rewards comprise mostly of Ores and Snake Medals, with a few reward tiers unlocking temporary army units, providing training boosts or unlocking exclusive decorations.
For this event, an Event Pass is purchasable for $4.99 USD (or equivalent). The Event Pass provides access to a paid tier of additional rewards.
Completing the main rewards track unlocks access to a bonus track, which grants additional Snake Medals upon completion, though only to a limited extent.
Players could spend 90 Gems to immediately unlock the next rewards tier, whether or not they have the Event Pass. Gems cannot be used on the bonus track.
