What are Arcanas?

Arcanas in Vampire Survivors are a unique modifier system. By collecting the Randomazzo, you activate the Arcana system and unlock the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players have the freedom to choose their preferred Arcana cards right from the stage selection screen before the match begins. Each Arcana offers a distinct functionality, but you'll need to unlock them first to utilize their power.
