What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are a unique modifier system within *Vampire Survivors*. The system is activated by collecting the Randomazzo, which also unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players have the freedom to select their preferred Arcana cards right from the stage selection screen before the match begins. Each Arcana offers a distinct functionality, but they must be unlocked first to be utilized.
