What are Arcanas?


In Vampire Survivors, Arcanas serve as a modifier system. Activating the Arcana system requires collecting the Randomazzo, which also unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can choose their preferred Arcana cards before starting a match on the stage selection screen. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but you must unlock them to utilize their benefits.
