What are Arcanas?
Arcanas are modifiers in Vampire Survivors. Unlocking the Randomazzo activates the Arcana system and the initial Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players choose their Arcanas on the stage selection screen before starting a match. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but must be unlocked first.
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.
Heart of Fire: Weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light bursts and causing explosions on character damage.
Silent Old Sanctuary: Grants +3 Reroll, Skip, and Banish. Provides +20% Might and -8% Cooldown for each empty weapon slot.
Blood Astronomia: Weapons add damage zones affected by Amount and Magnet. Enemies within Magnet range take damage based on Amount.
