What are Arcanas?
In Vampire Survivors, Arcanas serve as a unique modifier system. The system activates upon collecting the Randomazzo, which also unlocks the first Arcana, Sarabande of Healing. Players can select their preferred Arcana cards from the stage selection screen before starting a match. Each Arcana offers a distinct functional benefit, but they must be unlocked before you can use them.
Boogaloo of Illusions – This Arcana causes the overall area to fluctuate between -25% and +25% over 10 seconds. Additionally, with each level up, your character gains +1% Area.
How to Unlock – Reach Level 50 with Concetta.
Heart of Fire – When equipped, the projectiles from listed weapons explode on impact, causing light sources to erupt. If your character is harmed, it triggers an explosion.

Silent Old Sanctuary – This Arcana grants +3 Reroll, Skip, and Banish. It also boosts your Might by +20% and reduces Cooldown by -8% for each active weapon slot that remains unfilled.
