What are Arcanas?
In Vampire Survivors, Arcanas serve as a modifier system. The system is activated by collecting the Randomazzo, which also unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can select their preferred Arcana cards at the stage selection screen before the match begins. Each Arcana offers unique functionality, but they must be unlocked first to be used.

Boogaloo of Illusions – This Arcana alters the area effect over 10 seconds, fluctuating from -25% to +25%. With each level, your character gains a +1% increase in Area.
How to Unlock – Reach Level 50 with Concetta.
Heart of Fire – This Arcana causes listed weapon projectiles to detonate upon impact, creating light sources that erupt. When your character is harmed, it triggers an explosion.
