Effect

What Splinterhead does

An Arrow’s first hit splits at 35% damage. Max 2 splinters.

Splinterhead is an epic chest item that raises Arrow Splinters for Arrow only. It lasts for the rest of the run. The item text names how far it stacks; every copy past that point is wasted, so reroll it or wish for something else.

Source

How to get Splinterhead

Chest items drop from treasure chests out in the wilds — spend gold to open one, and each chest costs more than the last. Rarer items are rarer drops, so Luck (from Fortune or the Censer) makes a epic pull more likely. On every floor’s plaza the Wishing Well grants the exact item you name once per floor: the surest way to complete a build around Splinterhead.

Skill

Splinterhead and Arrow

Arrow

Auto-fires at the current target, piercing up to 3 foes.

Without Arrow in your build this item does nothing, so take the skill first and wish for the item once the skill is upgraded.
