[[Normal Monster|Normal]], [[Effect Monster|Effect]], [[Fusion Monster|Fusion]], [[Ritual Monster|Ritual]], [[Pendulum Monster|Pendulum]], [[Monster Token|Token]], and [[Tuner Synchro Monster|Synchro Monsters]] can all be Tuner monsters. 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. Some [[card effect]]s can also [[Treats monsters as Tuner monsters|treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners]], including the effects of [[Trap Monster]]s to Special Summon themselves.

As a broad category of monsters, Tuner monsters have no central shared effect or special mechanical traits. However, Tuner monsters have some commonalities with regards to their card effects or properties:
−
| romanji              = Chūnā
+
* Most Tuner monsters are low-Level, usually 1-3.
−
| japanese translated  = Tuner
+
* The rarer Level 5+ Tuner monsters typically have effects that change Levels (e.g. "[[Flower Cardian Willow with Calligrapher]]", "[[Mare Mare]]") or have an alternative playstyle (e.g. "[[Ursarctic Megapolar]]").
−
| english              = Tuner Monsters
+
* Older Level 4 Tuner monsters often have [[negative effect]]s or [[condition]]s that limit their use.
−
| french              = Syntoniseur
+
* Tuner monsters typically have effects that support Synchro Summoning, such as:
−
| german              = Empfänger
+
** Special Summoning another monster (e.g. "[[Deep Sea Diva]]", "[[Masked Chameleon]]")
−
| italian              =  
+
** Special Summoning themselves when a condition is met (e.g. "[[Lady of the Lake]]", "[[Fishborg Archer]]")
−
| korean              =

** Changing monsters' Level, Type, or [[Attribute]] (e.g. "[[Delta Flyer]]", "[[Genomix Fighter]]", "[[Genex Ally Chemistrer]]")
−
        | portuguese          = Sintonizador
+
* Some Tuner monsters can treat themselves as non-Tuner monsters for a Synchro Summon (e.g. "[[Phantom King Hydride]]")
−
| spanish              = Cantante
+
* Some Tuner monsters can only be used as Synchro Material for a limited set of Synchro Monsters (e.g. "[[Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Spirit]]", "[[Mystic Macrocarpa Seed]]", "[[Scrap Soldier]]")
−
}}
+
* Older [[Tuner Pendulum Monster]]s typically have restrictive effects or conditions (e.g. "[[Luster Pendulum, the Dracoslayer]]", "[[White Wing Magician]]"), as they can be easily recovered by [[Pendulum Summon]]ing after being used in Synchro Summons.

'''Tuner Monsters''' are required for the [[Synchro Summon]] of a [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]]. When the total [[Level]] of the Tuner monster and the other monsters on your side of the field matches the Synchro monster's Level, by sending them to the [[Graveyard]], you can Summon the [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]].

Tuner Monsters are the first secondary [[Type]] of [[Normal Monsters]], and the fifth secondary Type of [[Effect Monsters]], like [[Union Monsters|Union]] and [[Spirit Monsters]]. Subsequently, there are some Tuner Monsters which are [[Effect Monsters]] (e.g. "[[Krebons]]", "[[Blackwing - Gale the Whirlwind]]" or "[[Junk Synchron]]") and a few that are [[Normal Monsters]] (e.g. "[[Water Spirit]]" and "[[Tune Warrior]]"). Furthermore, there are cards that can treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners, including themselves (e.g. "[[Lightwave Tuning]]" and "[[Tuned Magician]]"). As such, Tuning is NOT considered an effect, and cannot be negated with cards such as "[[Skill Drain]]" and "[[Junk Synchron]]".

Most Tuner Monsters are low in [[Level]], usually ranging from [[Level]] 1 to [[Level]] 3, but they often have effects that allow them to facilitate the summoning of a [[Synchro Monsters|Synchro Monster]], such as Summoning other monsters, altering their own [[Level]], or preventing themselves from being destroyed. There are rarer Tuner Monsters that are [[Level]] 4, and currently a few level 5 and one [[Emissary from Pandemonium|level 7]] tuners.
+
Due to the usage of Levels in Synchro Summoning, there are no [[Xyz Monster|Xyz]] or [[Link Monster|Link]] Tuner monsters.
  
−
There are a few support cards that specifically deal with Tuner Monsters, including "[[Revival Gift]]" and "[[Quillbolt Hedgehog]]", which further aid in setting up a [[Synchro Summon]].

Some [[Synchro Monsters]] require a specific tuner monster (like "[[Junk Warrior]]" requires "[[Junk Synchron]]" and the other [[Warriors|Warrior]] synchro monsters). Others require a tuner of a specific [[type]], [[Attribute]], or [[Archetype]] (like [[Blackwing]] Synchro Monsters requiring a Blackwing tuner).

Tuner monsters, like their name, have ties to sound. As such, most support cards have references to music and wavelengths (such as "[[Frequency Magician]]"). A few Synchro Monsters and Tuners also have mechanical appearance, despite not being classified as either [[Machine]] or [[Psychic]], furthering this connection to sound waves.

There are also [[Synchro Tuner Monsters]], which have the ability to [[Synchro Summon]] during your opponent's turn.

Angel Trumpeter
"Angel Trumpeter", a Tuner monster

Tuner monsters (Japanese: チューナー Chūnā "Tuner") are monsters with "Tuner" listed on the Type line. They are required for the Synchro Summon of a Synchro Monster.

Normal, Effect, Fusion, Ritual, Pendulum, Token, and Synchro Monsters can all be Tuner monsters. Because Tuner is not an Ability, Tuner monsters can also have an Ability, such as Flip or Union. Special Summon Monsters can also be Tuner monsters. Some card effects can also treat non-Tuner monsters as Tuners, including the effects of Trap Monsters to Special Summon themselves.

Characteristics[edit]

As a broad category of monsters, Tuner monsters have no central shared effect or special mechanical traits. However, Tuner monsters have some commonalities with regards to their card effects or properties:

Count by properties[edit]

By monster card type[edit]

Normal Effect Ritual Fusion Synchro Pendulum Token
# 15 518 2 4 39 13 3

Due to the usage of Levels in Synchro Summoning, there are no Xyz or Link Tuner monsters.

By ability[edit]

Toon Spirit Union Gemini Flip
# 0 0 1 0 3

In addition, there are 24 cards that can treat themselves as Tuner monsters, and 32 cards that can treat other monsters as Tuners.

Design[edit]

As implied by the name, many Tuner monsters have designs related 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".

Examples[edit]

Trivia[edit]

  • While there are no Tuner Gemini monsters, the Gemini monster "Tuned Magician" treats itself as a Tuner after being Normal Summoned while already on the field.
  • "Torque Tune Gear" is the only Tuner Union monster.
  • While there are no Tuner monsters in Rush Duel, the Tuner monster "Black Salvo" appears in the artwork of "Counter Cannonball."
