What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are modifiers in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking the Randomazzo unlocks the Arcana system and the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players choose their Arcana cards on the stage selection screen before starting a match. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but must be unlocked first.
Here are a few examples:
-
Boogaloo of Illusions: Over 10 seconds, the character's area expands from -25% to +25%, gaining +1% area per level. Unlocked by reaching level 50 with Concetta.
-
Heart of Fire: Weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light bursts and causing explosions on character damage. Unlocked by reaching level 50 with Arca.
