The season's Prime Evil Splinter grants a periodic, automatically-triggering damage proc that requires no cast, no resource spend, and no Lucky Hit roll - just carrying the Splinter and progressing its reputation track for stronger upgrades over time.
Because it fires on its own timer rather than off player input, it stacks its uptime 'for free' on top of whatever active rotation a build is already running, and later reputation-rank upgrades add secondary effects (resource generation, Vulnerable application, extra triggers during a temporary window like 'Rapture of Fear' after a kill) that compound with the base proc rather than replacing it.
The mechanic is explicitly designed as a passive background system (a seasonal analog to older 'Angelbreaker'/season-mechanic auto-procs), separate from the character's own skill-cooldown or Lucky-Hit economy entirely.
Because it costs nothing to maintain, prioritize whichever Splinter's damage type and activity-modifiers best match your own build/farming route rather than treating the choice as purely a DPS-maximizing decision - see season15_prime_evil_splinter_choice.
