How to synchro summon ?

[★ГλMΞЯ]

I am new to this game, and since they added it I never really tried until last night,and I just couldnt pull it off. I know how to fusion summon, and ritual summon monsters, tributes, special summon etc, but synchro summon I dont know how, pls teach me!

You can synchro summon right from your extra deck (the one on the left side). When you can summon from it, it will be flashing. To synchro summon a monster you need a tuner and one or more non-tuner monsters whose total level is exactly equal to the level of the synchro monster you try to summon.

There should be a tutorial ingame...

However: To synchro summon, you need a so called Tuner monster (they are indicated by [Type/Tuner/Effect] and any other non-tuner monsters.

If the levels of our tuner and the other monsters together match those of a synchro monster you can summon, click on your extra deck, pick "special summon"; and choose the synchro monster you want.

(Some Synchros have additional requirements, like needing EARTH monsters as material.)

But is it needed [Tuner] or it can be [Type/Tuner] ?
Oh and the levels of 1 Tuner + more monsters - needs to match a monster from extra deck that needs to be summoned... This is where I was failing, thnx for the fast response guys, I will try synchro summons next time,any tips for begginer ? Some good strat to easy do a synchro.
Also, can I synchro summon with monsters from my hand, or I can have 1 tuner on the field and use 2 other monsters from my hand ?

You can only use monsters on the field to Synchro Summon, not those in your hand like Fusion Summon.

I wrote [Type/Tuner] since each tuner also has a standard type, like [Machine/Tuner/Effect] or [Dragon/Tuner/Normal].
Infact, tuner is an additional infromation that is added on cards just as [Union] or [Ritual] to clearly identify such monsters.
