What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are modifiers in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking Randomazzo activates the Arcana system, starting with Sarabande of Healing. You choose your Arcana cards before each match on the stage selection screen. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but must be unlocked first.
Here are a few examples:
-
Boogaloo of Illusions: Expands your character's area over 10 seconds from -25% to +25%, gaining +1% area per level. Unlock Condition: Reach Level 50 with Concetta.
