What are Arcanas?

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

Here are a few examples:

• Boogaloo of Illusions: Over 10 seconds, expands your character's area from -25% to +25%, gaining +1% area per level. Unlock Condition: Reach Level 50 with Concetta.

• Heart of Fire: Weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light explosions. Explosions also occur when the character takes damage. Unlock Condition: Reach Level 50 with Arca.

• Silent Old Sanctuary: Grants +3 Rerolls, Skips, and Banishes. Provides +20% Might and -8% Cooldown for each empty weapon slot. Unlock Condition: Reach minute 31 in the Dairy Plant.

• Blood Astronomia: Weapons create additional damage zones affected by Amount and Magnet. Enemies within Magnet range take damage based on Amount. Unlock Condition: Reach Level 50 with Poe.
