What are Arcanas?

Arcanas are modifiers in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking Randomazzo activates the Arcana system and the initial Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players choose Arcana cards before a match on the stage selection screen. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, requiring prior unlocking.

Here are a few examples:

• Boogaloo of Illusions: Expands the character's area over 10 seconds, from -25% to +25%, with each level adding +1% area.

  • Unlock: Reach Level 50 with Concetta.

• Heart of Fire: Weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light sources and causing explosions upon character damage.

  • Unlock: Reach Level 50 with Arca.
