What are Arcanas?
Arcanas represent a unique modifier system in Vampire Survivors. To activate the Arcana system and unlock the initial Arcana, Sarabande of Healing, you must collect the Randomazzo. Players can then select their preferred Arcana cards from the stage selection screen before the match starts. Each Arcana offers a distinct function, but they must first be unlocked to be utilized.
