What are Arcanas?

Arcanas are a modifier system in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking the Randomazzo activates the Arcana system, starting with Sarabande of Healing. Players select their Arcana cards on the stage selection screen before each match. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, requiring individual unlocks.

Here are a few examples:

• Boogaloo of Illusions: Expands your character's area over 10 seconds, from -25% to +25%, with each level adding +1% area. Unlocked by reaching level 50 with Concetta.

• Heart of Fire: Weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light bursts and causing explosions upon character damage. Unlocked by reaching level 50 with Arca.

• Silent Old Sanctuary: Provides +3 Reroll, Skip, and Banish. Grants +20% Might and -8% Cooldown for each empty weapon slot. Unlocked by reaching minute 31 in the Dairy Plant.

• Blood Astronomia: Weapons inflict additional area-of-effect damage based on Amount and Magnet stats. Enemies within Magnet range take damage proportional to Amount. Unlocked by reaching level 50 with Poe.
