All Tarot Card Effects in Phasmophobia, Explained

Phasmophobia's cursed possession has players draw one out ten cards from its deck, but multiple of the same card can appear within it. Each Arcana has a different effect that can help or hinder the player, depending on what is drawn.

All Ten Arcana

Some cards have a lower rate of spawning in the deck than others. There are only 10 cards that can spawn, and because there can be multiple of the same card, it is rare to see all 10 Arcana in one deck. Players must be in the Investigation Area when drawing the cards for them to work. After a card is used, they are burned up.
