What are Arcanas?
In Vampire Survivors, Arcanas serve as a modifier system. The Arcana system is activated by collecting the Randomazzo, which also unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can choose their preferred Arcana cards at the stage selection screen before the match begins. Each Arcana offers unique functionalities, but you must unlock them first to utilize their benefits.
