More performant than the old Jugemu but it’s just odd, which is bad coming from the old Jugemu which was already odd. So janky. Does weird things in play. Not very controllable. Strange pacing. Also, the shape change is just bleh. At least they’re public about the material.

Performance wise: it’s a good yoyo! I can’t really think of any major criticisms in regard to the performance.
But maaaan the design is WILD. It’s experimental with the trimaterial build and it very much challenges the current design ethos by being so BIG at 58×58 so it’s definitely harder to pallet even for people who may have more “modern” tastes.
Honestly, I could feasibly put this yoyo in A or even S-tier, but based purely on how polarizing I think it could be I just had to drop it. A tough sell is a tough sell. I definitely recommend giving this yoyo a college try at the very least. I liked it.
I definitely think the shape can be tweaked away from the sorta U-shape of the Scintillator. Something more in line with the shape of the Savage would’ve made this yoyo a bit more palatable I think.

Probably the most hyped yoyo at the W1LD booth. Pretty much everyone wanted to try this yoyo the second we walked onto the venue: And a LOT of people really loved it.
I definitely preferred some other options, but the Adrenaline stands out as the fastest yoyo I’ve ever played with. Insanely good in every other regard as well. The biggest drawback is that the yoyo was unwieldy and the build makes it questionable in regards to its sturdiness.
W1LD was on a roll at Worlds if you couldn’t tell. And I’ve only done two of their yoyos.

If this yoyo was 56mm I think it would’ve gone down as an all-time goat. As is it’s good, fast, and maneuverable; but it lacks the power and spin force to get it over the edge for me.

Simply put: The best yoyo I have ever played with.
It was like it was fine-tuned in every little way to be fun and performant. It’s a yoyo designed with competition in mind but absolutely no one should sleep on at least trying this if someone brings it to a local club. In play, I could not find a single drawback that made me think “Nah this needed more work.” W1ld and C3 deserve Michelin stars for how well they cooked this yoyo.
The most pleasantly maneuverable yoyo I’ve ever played with. More than capable for zontals. Handily powerful. Directly controllable. Width didn’t bother me either.
The width may be a hindrance for you if you prefer more narrow yoyos.
The only drawback I was able to find is the price and the name. That’s it.
The only reason I didn’t cop this yoyo instantly was because the $200 price point was nearly half of my yoyo budget. (And I’m still on the fence about if I regret this.)
