contents We define a new notion of splitting complexity for a group $G$ along a non-trivial integral character $ϕ\in H^1(G; \mathbb{Z})$. If $G$ is a one-ended coherent right-angled Artin group, we show that the splitting complexity along an epimorphism $ϕ\colon G \to \mathbb{Z}$ equals the $L^2$-Euler characteristic of the kernel of $ϕ$. This allows us to define a Thurston-type semi-norm $\| \cdot \|_T \colon H^1(G ; \mathbb{R}) \to \mathbb{R}$ that measures the splitting complexity of integral characters. Our main tool is Friedl--Lück's $L^2$-polytope.
