By default, Tributed cards are [[sent]] to the [[Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXALGraveyard]]'' anime series . "Tribute" (previously called リリースする '''Sacrifice'Rirīsu Suru'' ) is primarily used as a verb. Previously, it was phrased as "offer as a Tribute" ({{Ruby|生|い}}け{{Ruby|贄|にえ}}に{{Ruby|捧|ささ}}げる 生け贄に捧げる ''Ikenie ni Sasageru'') in the ''[[OCG]]''/'' and [[TCG]]'', as well as the ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! (anime)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' anime series, and '''offer as a Tribute''' in the ''TCG'') refers . "Sacrifice" is also often used to a method of [[send]]ing a [[monster]](s) the player [[control]]s refer to Tributing in the [[Graveyard]]anime.

Monsters are == Mechanics ==Cards can be Tributed in two waysas a result of:* As a Performing actions in the [[Tribute Summoncard text]] requirement.that specifically Tribute* As Performing a [[cost]], by an [[effectTribute Summon]], or as part of a /[[Summoning condition]] (that Specifically uses the word "tribute").Unless a card specifically states that you can Tribute monsters in your [[hand]] or under your opponent's control, such as "[[Gishki Aquamirror]]" and "[[Reptilianne VaskiiSet|Set]]", you can only Tribute monsters you control (on the field).

Unless a card specifically permits a player to Tribute monsters in their [[hand]] or under their opponent's control (such as "[[The Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode]]", "[[Soul Exchange]]", and "[[Black Luster Ritual]]"), they can only Tribute monsters they [[control]]. While normally only monsters can be Tributed, some cards (such as several "[[True Draco]]" cards and "[[Kiryu]]" can Tribute itself while treated as an ) allow [[Equip Spell Card|Spell]]and [[Trap Card]]s to be Tributed.

The upcoming While Tributed cards are [[True Dracosent]]to the Graveyard by default, they can still be successfully Tributed even if a card effect would cause them to be sent to another location (e.g. due to the effect of "[[Macro Cosmos] archetype uses many cards that tribute continuous spell and trap cards]").

"== ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel'' ==In ''[[Mask of RestrictYu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel|Rush Duel]]" stops any card from being tributes'', Tributing is exclusive to Tribute Summons.

Since tributing is almost exclusively done as a cost (an exception being Card effects that would Tribute monsters on the field in the ''OCG''/''TCG'' instead send them from the field to the Graveyard in Rush Duels. For example, in the ''OCG''/''TCG'', "[[Hieratic Sun Dragon Overlord of HeliopolisCannon Soldier]]")Tributes monsters to use its effect, generally any monster can be tributed unless directly specified otherwise, such as many whereas in Rush Duels "[[DustonCannon Soldier (Rush Duel)|Cannon Soldier]] cards, including cards unaffected by card effects" sends monsters from the field to the Graveyard.
