RITUAL SUMMON

In order to perform a Ritual Summon, you need to have in your hand the Ritual Monster you're attempting to Summon and the corresponding Ritual Spell Card; first of all you need to activate the Ritual Spell Card, if it wasn't negated now you need to Sacrifice monsters from your side of the field or hand whose total Levels meet the requirements of the Ritual Spell Card (Normally you can tribute monsters whose total levels are at least the level of the Ritual Monster). After the Ritual Summon is successfully perform, send the Ritual Spell Card to the graveyard.

Let's use Hungry Burger as the example:



As you can see "Hungry Burger" is a LV 6 monster, so you will need to Sacrifice monsters whose total levels are 6 or more.

Activate the Ritual Spell Card "Hamburger Recipe" and sacrifice monsters:

+ +

As you can see, the total levels of those cards is 7, so it is enough to Ritual Summon a Level 6 Ritual Monster.

FUSION SUMMON

To Fusion Summon you need a "Fusion" Spell/Trap Card or mostly "Polymerization" in your hand. With "Polymerization" you must also have the Fusion Material Monsters listed on the Fusion Monster in your hand or on your side of the field (you can also use a Fusion Substitute Monster to substitute only one of the materials). You must then activate "Polymerization", select the Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, send the Fusion Materials to the Graveyard and Fusion Summon the monster to your side of the field.

There are a lot of "Fusion" Spell cards besides "Polymerization", each one has its own different rule, but basically each Fusion Summon is performed in the same way; other "Fusion" Spell Cards include: "Miracle Fusion", "Instant Fusion", "Dark Fusion", "Cyberdark Impact!", "El Shaddoll Fusion", "Fusion Gate", "Gem-Knight Fusion", among others.

Let's use "Bickuribox" as an Example:



As you can see its Fusion Material Monsters are "Crass Clown" and "Dream Clown". All you need is to have "Polymerization" and Crass Clown and Dream Clown OR either of the Fusion Material Monsters and a Fusion Substitute Monster in your hand or field. You activate Polymerization and send the Fusion Materials from your hand or field to the graveyard and from your Extra Deck you Fusion Summon the correct Fusion Monster.

SYNCHRO SUMMON

We'll have "Black Rose Dragon" as the example:



As you see it's a LV 7 Monster. Then it means that it needs 1 Tuner + 1 or more Non-Tuner Monsters whose levels sum 7.

For example, let's take 1 Tuner monster of LV 4, like "Rose, Warrior of Revenge".
With that monster we only need 3 more levels (because 4+3=7).
We can either take:
One Level 3 Monster like "Dragon Zombie" OR
One Level 2 Monster like "Zombie Clown" + One Level 1 Monster like "Skull Servant" OR
Three Level 1 Monsters like three "Skull Servants"

+

OR

+ +

And in that way you get your LV 7 Synchro Monster.
The Non-Tuner Monster can be either kind of monster, (except Xyz because those do not have a LV) Normal, Effect, Ritual, Fusion, Tokens or even other Synchro Monsters.

XYZ SUMMON

Let's say you want a Rank 3 Xyz Monster, like "Grenosaurus".



Its summoning material is listed as "2 Level 3 Monsters".
So the only thing you need are 2 level 3 Monsters, they can be any kind of monsters (except other Xyz cuz they do not have levels, NEITHER tokens).

So you can take 2 "Dragon Zombies" and Xyz Summon your dinosaur:

+

The monsters don't need to be the same one, of course, you can use two different level 3 monsters, like:

PENDULUM SUMMON

Let's take as an example "Magician of Astromancy" and "Magician of Chronomancy".



In order to perform a Pendulum Summon you need to activate those cards from your hand as if they were Spell Cards. They will be placed in the Pendulum Zone on the Field.
Once both are at the same time in both of your Pendulum Zones you can perform a Pendulum Summon.

It's really easy, you only need to declare you are performing a Pendulum Summon and then you can summon as many Effect, Normal and Pendulum monsters from your hand and/or Pendulum Monsters from your Extra Deck whose levels are between the blue Pendulum Scale of the Pendulum Monster in the left Pendulum Zone and the red Pendulum Scale of the Pendulum Monster in the right Pendulum Zone.

So in this example "Magician of Chronomancy" is in the left, his Blue Pendulum Scale is 8.
"Magician of Astromancy" is in the right, his Red Pendulum Scale is 1.

This means you can Pendulum Summon from your hand as many monsters as possible of the levels 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Let's say you have your field completely empty, so you will be able to Pendulum Summon up to 5 monsters, in this example you could summon these:
