Introduction

If your Nova collection is mostly flat colors and camo wraps, this skin is a hard left turn. 一见青心 sits at Mythical rarity on the Nova and belongs to the Operation Broken Fang collection line. The hook is not loud graphics—it is a custom shell read as near-transparent polymer, so in the official framing you can see the weapon's internal layout through the outer body. Spin it in Inspect and the receiver, lines, and part silhouettes read through the casing instead of disappearing under paint.

Release snapshot

2020-12-03 went live with the Broken Fang beat. If you are backfilling that operation-era set, treat that date as your anchor when you search listings or compare ask prices.

Who designed it

Strenson (Workshop creator). The transparent-polymer idea came up through the community workshop before it shipped in the case pool—the name's wordplay and the shell language are doing the same job.

Where it drops

  • Operation Broken Fang Weapon Case
  • Operation Broken Fang Collection

Unboxing, trade-ups, or finishing the same series on C5GAME or Steam all funnel through those sources.

What you are actually buying

  • Finish type: Custom hand-painted
  • Wear band: 0.00–1.00 (every tier exists)
  • Visual core: clear shell + visible internals

Low float keeps the "window" cleaner; high wear stacks scuffs and grime on the transparent surfaces while internal lines still help you ID the skin—just expect the glass metaphor to feel smudged. The flavor line fits a design that skips sticker-bomb energy and leans on structure instead.

Inspect checklist (shop floor)

Trust in-game Inspect over thumbnail art:

  1. Side and top transitions — does the clear read stay continuous, or does it clip awkwardly?
  2. Handguard ↔ receiver seam — any hard break that kills the polymer illusion?
  3. Wear value vs scratches — are marks eating clarity, or adding believable field use?

On C5GAME or Steam, match seller screenshots to float band. Among Mythical Novas, the transparent-polymer lane stays relatively thin—pay for clarity and internal readability, not just rarity text.

导购结论

Worth it if you want a Nova that reads as engineering display, not wallpaper, and you will spend time picking a clean inspect. Pass or downgrade if you need a loud pattern at a glance or you hate maintaining float discipline—high wear here is functional but not pretty.

专家碎碎念

Broken Fang nostalgia tax is real, but this skin's value is experiential: it rewards the buyer who rotates the model. I would not chase the cheapest Battle-Scarred listing unless you explicitly want gritty glass; Factory New and low Minimal Wear are where the concept pays off. Listings without inspect stills are a trap—mythical Nova volume is low enough that one bad seam photo wastes a purchase.
