What are Arcanas?

Arcana is a unique modifier system in Vampire Survivors. To activate the Arcana system, you need to collect the Randomazzo, which also unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can choose their preferred Arcana cards from the stage selection screen before starting a match. Each Arcana offers a distinct functional advantage, but you must unlock them first to utilize their power.
