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 Arcana cards before a match on the stage selection screen. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but must first be unlocked.
