What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are modifiers within Vampire Survivors. Unlocking the Randomazzo item activates the Arcana system and unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players choose their Arcanas on the stage selection screen before starting a run. Each Arcana offers unique benefits, but must first be unlocked.
