| − | '''Tuner monsters''' (Japanese: チューナー ''Chūnā'', "Tuner") are [[Monster Card|monsters]] with "Tuner" listed on the [[Type]] line. They are required for the [[Synchro Summon]] of a [[Synchro Monster]]. [[Normal Monster|Normal]], [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Effect Monster|Effect]], [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]], and Synchro Monsters themselves can all be Tuner monsters, although some [[card effect]]s can [[Treats monsters as Tuner monsters|treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners]]. Because Tuner is not an [[Ability]], Tuner monsters can also have an Ability, such as [[Flip monster|Flip]] or [[Union monster|Union]]. [[Special Summon Monster]]s can also be Tuner monsters.
| |
| − | | |
| − | To perform a Synchro Summon, the player [[send]]s monsters they [[control]] (including a Tuner monster) to the [[Graveyard]] whose total [[Level]] is exactly equal to that of a Synchro Monster in their Extra Deck, then they Synchro Summon that Synchro Monster. Usually, Synchro Summons require exactly 1 Tuner monster, but some Synchro Monsters allow or require multiple Tuner monsters (referred to as [[Double Tuning]]).
| |
| | | | |
| − | A number of [[support]] cards specifically deal with Tuner monsters, including "[[Mind Trust]]", "[[Boost Warrior]]" and "[[Quillbolt Hedgehog]]", which can further aid in setting up a Synchro Summon.
| + | {{Fair use rationale |
| − | | + | | Description = Cover of the video game [[Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters (video game)|Yu-Gi-Oh! Dungeon Dice Monsters]]. |
| − | Some Synchro Monsters require a specific Tuner monster to be used ("[[Sun Dragon Inti]]"), or a Tuner of a specific [[Type]] ("[[Trident Dragion]]"), [[Attribute]] ("[[Dragocytos Corrupted Nethersoul Dragon]]"), or [[archetype]] ("[[Blackwing Tamer - Obsidian Hawk Joe]]"), etc. Likewise, some Tuners can only be used as Synchro Material for a limited set of Synchro Monsters, such as "[[Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit]]", "[[Mystic Macrocarpa Seed]]", and "[[Scrap Soldier]]".

| − | There are also [[Tuner Synchro Monster]]s, Synchro Monsters that are themselves Tuners. Due to their difficulty of use, they tend to have effects that make Synchro Summoning easier, such as by manipulating their own Level ("[[Phonon Pulse Dragon]]"), allowing its [[control]]ler to Synchro Summon during the opponent's turn ("[[T.G. Wonder Magician]]"), or having effects that activate when used as a Synchro Material ("[[Puralis, the Purple Pyrotile]]"). In the anime, Tuner Synchro Monsters are notably required for [[Accel Synchro Monster]]s, such as "[[Shooting Star Dragon (anime)|Shooting Star Dragon]]".

| − | ===Level===
| |
| − | Tuner monsters are often low in Level, usually ranging from Level 1 to 3. A number of Level 4 Tuner monsters exist, but very frequently have [[negative effect]]s or [[condition]]s that limit their use (due to Level 4 being by far the most common Level for monsters that can be readily Normal Summoned, this is presumably to make it more difficult to Summon Level 8 Synchro Monsters). The first Level 4 [[Normal Monster|Normal]] Tuner monster, "[[Angel Trumpeter]]", was not released until 2016, eight years after the debut of Tuner and Synchro monsters. There are not many Level 5 or higher Tuner monsters.

| − | ===Effects===
| |
| − | Many Tuner monsters have effects that assist in performing a Synchro Summon, such as by Special Summoning another monster ("[[Deep Sea Diva]]", "[[Masked Chameleon]]"), Special Summoning themselves when a condition is met ("[[Lady of the Lake]]", "[[Fishborg Archer]]"), or managing the Level, Type, or [[Attribute]] of monsters ("[[Delta Flyer]]", "[[Genomix Fighter]]", and "[[Genex Ally Chemistrer]]", respectively). One monster, "[[Phantom King Hydride]]", can treat itself as a non-Tuner monster for a Synchro Summon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Etymology===
| |
| − | As implied by the name, several Tuner monsters and their designs have ties to sound, like "[[Frequency Magician]]", "Phonon Pulse Dragon", and the "[[Resonator]]" monsters. Many Tuner support cards have references to music or wavelengths, like "[[Natural Tune]]", "[[Resonator Call]]", and "[[Tuning]]".
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===[[Tuner Pendulum Monster]]===
| |
| − | Tuner Pendulum Monsters usually have an effect that restricts how they can be used as a Synchro Material and/or causes them to banish themselves if used as a Synchro Material. This is because otherwise they could easily be Pendulum Summoned again the next turn, to be used as Synchro Material again.
