Toyota AE86

**Takumi Fujiwara's Toyota Sprinter Trueno GT-APEX (AE86)** (originally owned by Bunta Fujiwara), also known as **The White Ghost of Akina**, the **Panda Trueno**, or more simply as the **Eight-Six** (**Hachi-Roku**), is one of the main vehicles in the Initial D series. Bunta Fujiwara used this car to set the fastest downhill record on Mt. Akina and then used it as the delivery for his tofu shop. It would later become legendary after his son, Takumi, used the car to beat Keisuke Takahashi of the Akagi RedSuns, he would later use it during his time as part of Project D before retiring the car at the end of the series.

Use arrow keys on your keyboard to control the AE86 in this mode.

## Guides

### AE86 Project D Lategame Build by Syntzz

First of all, you shouldn't activate Project D mode until you have some damage items. That being said, you will be playing as an annoying right-click hitter hero for around the first half of the game, and then you will transition into drift mode in the late game for maximum efficiency. You should put 1 point in your Q, and then max E and W first.

In project D, you must drift into your enemies to deal damage. Your damage is increased significantly during your ultimate. Avoid tight turns and cliffs, as you can get stuck extremely easily. Use your Q to escape from magic heroes such as Megumin or Aqua, but you shouldn't use it to escape from physical heroes as they will most likely out-damage the heal. You should also use it as a fountain refill. In order to use items such as wind waker and pumpkin during project D, keep your cursor on yourself throughout the game so all you need to do is press the hotkey in order to activate it.

For talents, learn all the rightside talents.

This guide will be updated as I find better ways to play, but for now this is the most effective build I found *so far*.

#### Early Game

Boots of Travel -> Pumpkin

You should use pumpkin to get kills before activating project D, and to get over cliffs, get out of stuck spots etc in project D mode

#### Mid Game

Murasame -> Daedalus

Somewhere around this point, you should activate Project D

#### Situational Items

Another Daedalus: For when your damage still isn't enough somehow

Lostvayne: Dispel silences and eblade, get out of stuck spots quickly and confuse enemy units

Linken's Sphere: Block spells and items such as hex

Spiral Power: Survivability against mages etc

Wind Waker: Like lostvayne, without the illusions. Usually better than lostvayne.

Octarine Core: For more uptime on your spells and items.
