What are Arcanas?

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