What are Arcanas?

Arcanas are modifiers in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking the Randomazzo activates the Arcana system and the initial Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. You choose your Arcana cards on the stage selection screen before each run. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but must be unlocked first.
