What are Arcanas?

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

Examples of Powerful Arcanas:

• Boogaloo of Illusions: Over 10 seconds, the character's area expands from -25% to +25%, increasing by 1% per level.

  • Unlock: Reach Level 50 with Concetta.

• Heart of Fire: Weapon projectiles explode on impact, creating light bursts and causing explosions on character damage.

  • Unlock: Reach Level 50 with Arca.

• Silent Old Sanctuary: Grants +3 Rerolls, Skips, and Banishes, plus +20% Might and -8% Cooldown for each empty weapon slot.

  • Unlock: Reach minute 31 in Dairy Plant.

• Blood Astronomia: Weapons create damage zones affected by Amount and Magnet; enemies within Magnet range take damage based on Amount.

  • Unlock: Reach Level 50 with Poe.
