| |
| − | A '''Ritual Summon''' ({{Ruby|儀|ぎ}}{{Ruby|式|しき}}{{Ruby|召|しょう}}{{Ruby|喚|かん}} ''Gishiki Shōkan'') is a method of [[Special Summon]]ing a [[Ritual Monster]] which uses the effect of a [[Ritual Spell Card]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Ritual Summons usually require [[Tribute]]s (from your hand or side of the field) greater than or equal to the [[Level]] of the Ritual Monster that is being Summoned. These Tributes are performed as part of the Ritual Spell Card's [[card effect|effect]] [[resolution]], rather than as a [[cost]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Most Ritual Spell Cards that are capable of being used for different Ritual Monsters, such as "[[End of the World]]", require the total [[Level]]s of the Tributed monsters to exactly equal the Level of the Ritual Monster. Some Ritual Spell Cards have special requirements to perform the Ritual Summon; "[[Advanced Ritual Art]]" [[send]]s monsters from the [[Main Deck]] to the [[Graveyard]] to perform the Ritual Summon, while "[[Gishki Photomirror]]" requires an appropriate amount of [[LP]] to be paid.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | == Performing a Ritual Summon ==
| |
| − | During an open [[game state]] in the [[Main Phase]], the [[turn player]] may conduct a Ritual Summon if the following conditions are met:
| |
| − | * They have a [[Ritual Spell Card]] in their [[hand]] or [[Set]] on the field.<ref group=Notes>"[[Luminous Dragon Ritual]]" is the only exception to this rule so far, which can be in the Graveyard instead.</ref>
| |
| − | * They have an appropriate Ritual Monster in their [[hand]] that can be Ritual Summoned with that Ritual Spell Card.<ref group=Notes>"[[Nekroz Cycle]]" is the only exception to this rule so far, allowing the Ritual Monster to be in the Graveyard instead.</ref>
| |
| − | * There are monsters in the appropriate locations (specified by the Ritual Spell Card), whose total Levels meet the requirements of the Ritual Spell Card, or a single monster that has an effect allowing it to be used as the entire monster requirement.<ref group=Notes>"[[Gishki Photomirror]]" is the only exception to this rule so far, mandating that the player pay an appropriate amount of [[LP]] instead.</ref>
| |
| − | If these conditions are met, that player can activate the appropriate Ritual Spell Card.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | If the activation of the Ritual Spell Card is successful, the player that activated the Ritual Spell Card resolves its effect, normally by [[Tribute|Tributing]] monsters from a location(s) specified on the Ritual Spell Card, whose total Levels meet the requirements of the Ritual Spell Card. After that, the player Special Summons the Ritual Monster to their side of the field, [[face-up]], then the Ritual Spell Card is sent to the Graveyard.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Clarifications==
| |
| − | * A player can activate a Ritual Spell Card even if their [[Monster Zone]]s are full, but only if they Tribute one of their monsters on the field when the Ritual Spell Card resolves (if all their Monster Zones are still occupied by that point).
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * [[Face-down]] monsters can be Tributed for the effect of a Ritual Spell Card, unless the card text specifies otherwise, such as "[[Forbidden Arts of the Gishki]]".
| |
| − | ** If you are allowed to Tribute an opponent's face-down monster by a card effect such as "[[Soul Exchange]]", you cannot use it for a Ritual Summon since its Level is unknown.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=S&last=T |title=Individual Card Rulings [S-T] |publisher=UDE |at=Soul Exchange |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220024252/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=S&last=T |archivedate=20 February 2009 |quote=You can target a face-down monster, but you cannot Tribute it for a Ritual Summon or for “Metamorphosis” because you do not know its Level.}}</ref>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * If the Ritual Spell Card does not mandate an exact amount of Levels (e.g. "''You must also Tribute monsters from your hand or field whose total Levels equal 6 or more.''"), the player cannot Tribute additional monsters if they met the minimum Level requirement already.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=6852 |title=Secrets of Eternity: Netherlord of the Flies |author=Scott Miller |date=6 January 2015 |publisher=Konami |accessdate=12 December 2015 |quote=Remember, though, that you cannot overpay by Tributing more monsters than necessary to meet the “total Level 6 or more” requirement.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://yugiohblog.konami.com/articles/?p=3669 |title=How Ritual Summons Work |author=Scott Miller |date=23 February 2009 |publisher=Konami |accessdate=12 December 2015 |quote=Some Ritual Spells let you go over that number, others require the Levels of the Tributes to exactly match the Level of the Ritual Monster. No matter what, if you have already selected enough monsters to fulfil the requirement, you can’t Tribute any extra ones.}}</ref>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * When the Ritual Spell Card resolves, if monsters cannot be used for the Ritual Summon or the [[Ritual Monster]] cannot be Ritual Summoned, no Ritual Summon occurs, nor are any monsters used for the Ritual Spell Card's monster requirement.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |title=Individual Card Rulings [L-O] |publisher=UDE |at=Mask of Restrict |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090220023927/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=L&last=O |archivedate=20 February 2009}}</ref>
| |
| − |
| |
| − | * A successful Ritual Summon is necessary for a Ritual Monster to later be Special Summoned with card effects such as "[[Dimension Fusion]]" or "[[Monster Reborn]]".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=D&last=E |title=Individual Card Rulings [D-E] |publisher=UDE |at=Dimension Fusion |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090218205242/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=D&last=E |archivedate=18 February 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |title=Individual Card Rulings [A-C] |publisher=UDE |at=Contract with the Abyss |accessdate=12 December 2015 |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20090217182013/http://entertainment.upperdeck.com/yugioh/en/gameplay/faqs/cardfaqs/default.aspx?first=A&last=C |archivedate=17 February 2009}}</ref>
