What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are a modifier system in Vampire Survivors. By collecting the Randomazzo, you activate the Arcana system and unlock the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can select their preferred Arcana cards before the match starts, right from the stage selection screen. Each Arcana offers a unique function, but they must be unlocked before use.
