What are Arcanas?

Arcanas are a unique modifier system in Vampire Survivors. They become available once you collect the Randomazzo, which activates the Arcana system and unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. At the stage selection screen, you can choose which Arcana cards to use. Each Arcana offers a distinct function, but you must unlock them first to take advantage of their benefits.
