How to Unlock the Snake Bracelet and Is It Worth It in Clash of Clans?

Clash of Clans announced a new Snake Bracelet epic equipment for the Barbarian King in 2025’s Lunar New Year event, the Snake Festival. The Snake Bracelet is a unique equipment for the Barbarian King, but is it better than the current equipment available to him?

Here’s how to unlock the Snake Bracelet, and then we’ll dive into whether it is worth it.

How to Unlock the Snake Bracelet in Clash of Clans

The Snake Bracelet will only unlock if you purchase it from the Snake Festival event shop. You’ll need 3,100 Snake Medals, and the only way to get them is to attack and collect lanterns throughout the Snake Festival event until the end of February 2025.

Finishing the “free” track of the Snake Festival event pass will give you enough Snake Medals to buy the Snake Bracelet. You’ll even have some extra Snake Medals to spend if you finish the bonus track during the event.

If you want it quicker, you can purchase the premium event pass to get the bonus Snake Medals from the paid track. You’ll also get a big chunk of equipment upgrade materials like Shiny, Glowy, and Starry Ores.

Is the Snake Bracelet Worth It in Clash of Clans?

Before deciding, let’s take a look at the stats. Firstly, the Snake Bracelet revolves around summoning snakes, trying to get the defense’s attention and bait some shots, especially from single-target Inferno Towers. You want to level this up as high as possible. For every 300 damage the Barbarian King takes, he will summon snakes alongside him.

The level threshold for increasing the summoned snake’s level is every three levels. At level 3, summoned snakes will be at level 2, so every increase will be at the multiple of three, with 27 giving you the max level 10 summoned units. This is one of those few equipment pieces that don’t have a big utility or damage boost when reaching a certain level. So you can level up your Snake Bracelet to any multiple of three and stop when upgrades get too expensive.

Secondly, the hero boosts are all decent or average compared to other equipment. However, the hitpoint increase from the Snake Bracelet is higher than any other equipment in the game. You can say that this equipment is designed to make the Barbarian King tank a lot of shots.

The strategy is to avoid those splash defenses while baiting hits from Cannons, Archer Towers, and, most importantly, the Monolith. If you can get the snakes to tank the Monolith before taking it down, the equipment has already done its job.

However, the equipment is only good if it is better than the others, right? You can only equip two equipment at a time, so it has to be better than Earthquake Boots, Spiky Ball, Giant Gauntlet, and more. So far, the Earthquake Boots and Spiky Ball reign supreme as the best combination. It is so easy to use.

However, the Giant Gauntlet and the Snake Bracelet can also work if you want to use the Barbarian King as full support by tanking everything for your troops. It could work if you have some Throwers, Bowlers, or long-ranged units at the back.

If you lack the resources to upgrade any equipment, you should hold off on upgrading the Snake Bracelet.
