How to Play Yu-Gi-Oh: Fusion Summoning!

[@Planner100]

Please don't stop this series. It's an amazing resource for getting new players to pick up and play Yugioh. The videos have great visuals and very descriptive explanations without having the video be too long where the viewer would lose interest. Great moves Cimo, keep it up.

I recon you should have included a section for mask change but overall i love this series. I will be using these to help people understand yugioh. Thanks cimoooooooo

[@zarraproductions6353]

Trying to get back into yugioh, and I'm terrified by how complex the game has gotten since I was in middle school. These videos, along with playing an old GBA game I have- I'm hoping to slowly dip my toes back in. Currently in the process of putting a Toon deck together (and learning to use it 😅) excited to use these vids and other methods to hopefully get a hang of the game again. Thank you so much for the short vids, clear explanations, and no overly complicated drawn out wordy descriptions.

[@rushfan212]

It could be a good idea to have mentioned cards that substitute themselves as fusion materials, I.E. Mystical Sheep #1 and King of the Swamp, because there are certain rulings that come up regarding those cards, as in certain fusion monsters with specific texts can't use fusion substitutes in the summoning requirements.

[@andy56duky]

For traditional fusion, there's a few exceptions where certain effect monsters can fill in the spot for certain pre-requisite conditions.

I like to know, if is possible fusion summon a monster in face down defense position ?? and if can do the same with synchro summon a monster in face down defense position, thanks.

[@dayvonlouis5187]

Juan Pablo Gamez Canales you can fusion summon with monster faced down but remember some fusion require the monster to be on the field to fusion summon and synchro and xyz require the monster to be faced up to be identified by levels or other categories for links to summoned.

[@stormfrontDP]

When is this series returning, this is by far one of your best series 👍🏻

[@DrawingTechnical]

What does it mean when a card says for example: "1 Tuner + 1 + non-Tuner monsters". It's the +1 part I'm confused about, does it mean 1 tuner and 1 non tuner, or does it mean 1 tuner and 1 monster and 1 non tuner? I suppose it would say 2 tuners if it required 2.

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

So to break it down: 1 tuner (self explanatory, use only 1 tuner) + (self explanatory) 1+ non-tuners (meaning you have a choice to use 1 or more non tuners as long as all materials add up to the synchro monster's level) For example: you control a lv 1 tuner, 2 lv 1 non tuners, and 1 lv 2 non tuner. You are trying to synchro summon a lv 3 synchro with that clause. You have the option to use 1 tuner with 1 non tuner (lv 1 + lv 2) or 1 tuner with 2 non tuners (lv 1+ lv 1+ lv 1). Hope this helps.

[@eksmad]

1:51 Can it be from BOTH, a combination? F.e.: 2 Dragons from my hand and 1 from the field? Or only from hand / only from field? Please help!

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

Can be either unless the card says otherwise. The only example I can think of is Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, which only takes "on field" monsters. There are also some fringe cases where the fusion spell states where specifically. Fusion Substitute, for example, is just poly but only on the field. Hope this helps.

[@eksmad]

@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 Yes, it does! Thank you so much for the kind reply!

[@BearGirlSummer]

Thank you!! It’s nice to have this info so easily explained

[@MellowKnightGuard]

There are 2 ways to revive a fusion monster in Yu-Gi-Oh is 1. Monster reborn which you already know that because you just explained it, 2. Fusion recovery which allows the person to recover Polymerization and one fusion material monster that was used for fusion summmon, from your graveyard to your hand, 3. De-fusion, 4. Re-fusion

[@MGPKStudios]

Decks that people can use to practice or try these methods: Regular Polymerization: Lunalights Other Polymerization: Heroes, Shaddolls, Fluffal/Frightfur, Cyber Dragons Contact Fusion: Gladiator Beasts, Ritual Beasts, and ABC (I suggest that practice with other contact fusion decks before trying this one)

I have a question that I can't find the answer to anywhere. When someone's monster effect sends your monster that is a Fusion Monster into your hand how do you summon it again from your hand? Please help I'm so lost

[@ugh5880]

[@TheCollector42]

I have a question about some contact fusion cards, for example "Chimeratech Fortress Dragon" where the text vairy in that on one card it say ("You do not use "Polymerization" ) and the other version dosen't have this little qoute. Why is that? can I not play with the card that lack this detail?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

Cards have different text because when they get a reprint, they update the wording of the card to make it have clearer effects/ less text/ updated rulings/ change in jargon, etc. You can play any version/errata of the card as long as both you and your opponent have a clear, up to date understanding of how the card works. For example, you can play pre-errata'd sangan as long as you know/ follow the current rulings of the post errata sangan. Hope this helps.

[@amrelhattab]

You are amazing l have learned from you how to xyz , cincro and now fusion

Some one mentioned that you came up with the fusion card called hormonic synchro fusion... 5 years ago...

[@ebrake.5889]

YUUUGO SHOUKAN!!!

[@ProxymanDerk]

I'm not sure if you should've mention that the fusion materials for contact fusion do not need to be face-up on the field. For example, to contact fuse G.B. Gyzarus you need G.B. bestiari and another G.B. monster on the field. If you already have any other G.B. on field, you can set a bestiari face-down on the field, then reveal it to the opponent to proceed to contact fusion Gyzarus.

Dude thank you so much I had all these cards saying fusion which I dont have polermrazation and I'm like aw man but then I went to you you told me there's a thing called contact summoning thank you so much your the best 😁

[@danielberrt1464]

So instead using polymerization card on some fusion monster liked Chimeratech dragons (Overdragon, Rampage dragon, Fortress dragon and Megafleet dragon.) then what about the other fusion spell card liked Overload Fusion, Cybernetic Fusion Support, Power Bond and Future Fusion. Do we have to use those spell cards on those typed of fusion monsters?

[@konstantin8jmateev393]

Hi,can I fusion for example cyber twin dragon by fusing 1 cyber dragon from field and 1 from hand? Since in the card text there is no "and"?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

This might be late but it depends on which fusion spell you are talking about. Stuff like hand or field like the original polymerization can fuse from either hand and/ or field so you can use both. Other spells will be more specific. For example, "fusion substitute" uses only monsters on field. Hope this helps.

Turles Yeah.

[@sulaimanalomran8956]

So if I have polymerzation and the material are in the graveyard. I can't fusion summon??? But isn't the graveyard part of the field as clearly stated by the card

[@Belkak021]

The "field" referenced by card text is the combination of each player's Monster Zones, Spell & Trap Zones, Pendulum Zones and Field Zones. Thus, the field is shared and each player controls only one side of it. From the wiki.

[@jmoreno6516]

I’m curious, am I able to summon as many fusion monsters as I want or am I limited to only 1 fusion monster out on my field at a time?

[@justinbertelson6817]

Okay so I have a question my buddy has a card it’s a link monster if he tributes 2 effect monsters he can summon it and then he can fusion summon a monster using monsters on his field does it have to be the monster listed on the fusion card material ?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

This might be late but Im assuming hes using proxy f magician or verte anaconda. For proxy f, the materials have to be on the field. If its verte, just apply the fusion spell's effect sent by its effect. For both, whatever fusion monster you summon, you still have to meet the conditions to summon it. Lets say starving venom fusion dragon. You will still meed 2 dark monsters to fuse. Same with blue eyes ultimate. You still need the 3 blue eyes. Hope this helps.

[@Bravco509]

Question: So, I was looking at various prints of "polymerization." It looks like there are many different printings with different wording. What is the official ruling and can you run a copy with a different text?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

You can play it. Different text means either: -Updated to modern terms aka "problem solving card text" or psct for short. -has an errata or changed effect. An example is sangan where they gave it a hard once per turn clause and a restriction. (For poly, it doesn't have an errata but wanted to point this out) Most recent poly is "Fusion Summon 1 Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck, using monsters from your hand or field as Fusion Material." (As long as both you and your opponent know how the most updated ruling/ text work, its fine to play older copies of cards) Hope this helps.

@@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360 Sorry to take advantage, but I am having trouble finding the answer to this question: what does "+1 +" mean? for example, Alba Lenatus states that it requires 1 fallen of albaz +1 + dragon monsters as fusion material. Does this mean that I must use one fallen of albaz plus at least 1 dragon monster (but can use more if I so wish?)

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

@@Bravco509 Yes. In that scenario, 1+ means you can use just 1 material or more than 1 material. It gives you flexibility. Another card example on top of my head is Number 75 Bamboozling Gossip Shadow which takes 2+ level 3 monsters. Aka 2 or more level 3s. Chineratech archtype is also an example of fusions that use 1+.

So I assume XYZ Dragon Cannon(as an example) would be a contact fusion, then? Are all Machine type fusion monsters contact fusion’s, or is that a specific rule for certain ones?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

A specific way to check for contact fusion is if the card says "you do not use "polymerization"". Contact fusion is mainly fusion without an effect activating/ causing the fusion summon (like fusion spells or monster effects that allow you to fusion summon) so it becomes similar to stuff like synchro or xyz summoning. A unofficial/ slang term for these summons that dont trigger by effect is "inherent summon". Hope this helps.

I recently got back into the game after not playing since like 2005. I have been collecting cards and recently got "Dowsing Fusion". Can someone explain how this card works? Can I use it to fusion summon Pendulum Fusion type monsters (which I don't have yet if they exist) or is it like polymerization except you use pendulum monsters as materials? There is such to learn since I last played and it can be overwhelming. Thank you!

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

Hi. Welcome back. Anyways, dowsing fusion uses ONLY pendulum monster materials from the graveyard to summon a fusion monster that meets the requirements (fusion monster doesn't have to be pendulum). A common play is someone xyz summoning 2 lv 7 pendulum monsters (1 being odd-eyes) into odd eyes absolute dragon. Then use Absolute as link material just to have the level 7 pendulums in the grave (also Absolute floating effect but thats besides the point). You then use dowsing fusion to fuse those 2 pendulums in the grave to fusion summon odd eyes vortex dragon. Hope this helps.

[@BedroomGuitarist831]

can I fusion summon using a combination of a monster in my hand with a monster on the field?? or does both monsters HAVE to be from your hand or both monster HAVE to be on the field?

Read the effect* of what's causing the fusion summon and it will tell you where your materials must be. Here are some examples: *exception to contact fusion (like xyz dragon cannon, neos fusions or gladiator beast fusion monsters) generally will be only monsters on field and will not require a fusion spell but will tell you where to out the materials to perform a contact fusion. Polymerization requires monsters from hand or field. Fusion substitute is a spell that requires "monsters you control" so only on field.

If you’re referring to fusion cards in general try to have a good balance of those that work with the cards you’re using but don’t let it take priority over the Balance of your deck too many fusion spells will lead to too many inconvenient dead draws unless used properly like if you’re going to use three polymerizations keep it at that but add tech cards that can search and recycle them so you don’t have to worry too much about consistency using only one when you’re main source of offense is your fusions monster means you’ll rarely bring em out outside of alternative methods which can hinder your reaction speed in duels.

Say, If you try to fusion summon "dark paladin" with regular polymerization or "destruction swordsman fusion", can you mix materials from hand and field? because as far as i know, the "or" mentioned in the card implies that is from one or another, so i cant fusion summon with dark magician in field and buster blader in hand, or can i?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

Yes. If you perform a fusion summon, you get the fusion monster from the extra deck.

[@fycyoungst3r538]

What if I wanna special summon dark magician the dark knight ??

[@HyperSolarix255]

You would activate Polymerization and send from your hand and/or field to the graveyard 1 Dark Magician, and 1 Dragon-type Monster.

[@dayvonlouis5187]

Or alternatively use the eye of timeaus so you don’t have to run a dragon in your spellcaster deck

[@victory4966]

Can someone tell me how to fusion summon by shuffling cards. I'm a bit confused there

[@HyperSolarix255]

Using Elemental Hero Air Neos as an example, you would send a copy of Elemental Hero Neos and Neo-Spacian Air Hummingbird from your field back into your main deck where you drew them, and then you special summon Air Neos from your Extra Deck.

[@Ziradious]

What happen if the fusion is S.A.ego he sent back to the hand what happen then

[@HyperSolarix255]

It returns to the extra deck instead.

[@bash3471]

I'm still here but I am already lost. So many details to know. I didn't even begin with the xyz and pendulum. HELP

[@Ben-mb4ft]

thank you very much for these videos! they help a lot what happens if an effect states to put a monster from the GY to the main deck? could i choose a fusion monster and put if back into the extra deck?

[@HyperSolarix255]

Any monster originally summoned from the extra deck is always returned to the extra deck through effects that mention moving cards to the deck.

[@Ben-mb4ft]

@@HyperSolarix255 thanks

[@Mystical_13]

Can material be brought back from the graveyard ?

[@ghostsisterspookydogwood4360]

This might be late but if you're talking about monster reborn, then yes. It won't if the monster used as material wasn't properly summoned first. Like a synchro cheated out of the extra deck by a non-synchro summon method. Or a monster that says "must first be summoned by doing something first"

[@brutus3377]

Can u monster reborn a fusion?

[@shiny460]

Noobster Gaming Yes

[@swifty1980]

That helps me a lot. Thanks! 😃

[@Duelerama90]

Is it not worth mentioning Material substitute cards like King of the Swamp?

[@Cimoooooooo]

I didn't feel the need. After watching this video, if someone reads a card like King of the Swamp, they will understand how it functions.

[@traplover6357]

DuelistKING it's a general thing. Sure, probably the novices will screw up via the certain rulings but hopefully (and I mean that) good locals can explain as to why and also for novices to be open minded and trust yugioh wikia.

[@fycyoungst3r538]

Can I fusion summon with a card face down ???

[@Belkak021]

Yes

[@Haooryu]

I Activate Polymerization! I fuse Zombyra the dark and that skull thing, I fusion Summon! Appear! A Warrior from a different Dimension! You cant summon any monsters! *opponent: Scoops*

[@herbcruz4697]

If you can get A Warrior from a Different Dimension, Spell Canceller, and Jinzo out on the field, then you're pretty much home free.

[@paradoxlopez3223]

I know masked heroes aren't technically a fusion, nor are they a contact fusion. What would they be classified as ?

[@foulmoodcentral9842]

they are classified as Transformation Summoned Fusion monsters.wikia will tell you all: yugioh.wikia.com/wiki/Transformation_Summon
