What are Arcanas?
In Vampire Survivors, Arcanas serve as a modifier system. By collecting the Randomazzo, you activate the Arcana system, starting with the Sarabande of Healing. You can choose your preferred Arcana cards at the stage selection screen before the match starts. Each Arcana offers unique functionalities, but you must unlock them first to utilize their benefits.
