What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are a unique modifier system in Vampire Survivors. By collecting the Randomazzo, you activate the Arcana system and unlock the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can then choose their preferred Arcana cards at the stage selection screen before the match starts. Each Arcana offers a distinct function, but they must be unlocked first to be used.
Boogaloo of Illusions – This Arcana causes the area to fluctuate between -25% and +25% over 10 seconds. With each level up, your character gains an additional 1% Area.
How to Unlock – Reach Level 50 with Concetta.
Heart of Fire – This Arcana makes weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light sources that erupt. When your character is hit, it triggers an explosion.
