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.
