What are Arcanas?
Arcanas represent a unique modifier system within *Vampire Survivors*. The Arcana system, along with the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing, is activated by collecting the Randomazzo. Players can select their preferred Arcana cards before the match begins on the stage selection screen. Each Arcana offers a distinct function, but they must be unlocked to be used.
