What are Arcanas?

Arcanas are a unique modifier system within Vampire Survivors. They become available after collecting the Randomazzo, which activates the Arcana system and grants you the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can select their preferred Arcana cards on the stage selection screen before starting a match. Each Arcana offers a distinct function, but you must unlock them to use them.
