No, you do not 'tribute' the Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon. They are sent to the graveyard, not tributed. You can tribute an opponents synchro monster for "Assault Mode Activate!" to summon the assault mode monster from your deck.
Building a good Tuner/Synchro deck centers on getting monsters out on the field as fast as you can to Synchro Summon. If you want to specialize in which Synchro Monster(s) you want to summon you can still start with these simple card combos:"Summoner Monk" - By using its effect you can quickly Special Summon a Level 4 Tuner monster from your deck then Synchro Summon for a Level 8 monster."Rescue Cat" - Use its effect to Special Summon a Level 3 or lower Tuner and a Level 3 or lower non-Tuner. Note that so far "X-Saber Airbellum" is the only Beast Tuner monster you will be able to summon."Maurading Captain" - Special Summon another Warrior Tuner to Synchro Summon."Black Salvo" - Special Summon a Level 4 DARK Machine and quickly summon a Level 7 Synchro Monster.
The conditions for Synchro Summoning are the same as in real life:You must have a face-up Tuner monster and non-Tuner monster(s) on your side of the field.The combined levels of the monsters must equal that of the Synchro Monster you want to Synchro Summon from your Extra Deck.If there are any specific monsters or types of monsters listed on the Synchro Monster, that/ those monster/ monsters must be face-up on the field.Once the above conditions are met, you must:Select your Extra Deck, then select "Activate".From there, you will see a window pop up of the possible monster(s) to Synchro Summon. Select one of the Synchro Monsters.Now select which cards on your side of the field to send to the Graveyard; they will have an outline around them.After a short animation, select if you want you Syncho Monster to appear on the field in face-up attack or defense position and you will Synchro Summon your Synchro Monster.
No, a Synchro Summon is a kind of Special Summon.
It's a Synchro monster, just Synchro Summon it as per the usual Synchro Summon rules (send 1 tuner and 1 or more non-tuners from your side of the field to the graveyard, with combined levels equal to the Power Tool Dragon).
No, you do not 'tribute' the Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon. They are sent to the graveyard, not tributed. You can tribute an opponents synchro monster for "Assault Mode Activate!" to summon the assault mode monster from your deck.
Currently, no Synchro monster has a negative level.
An accel synchro summon works when you tuner your synchro monsters with a synchro tuner monster, creating a more powerful monster. There is only one of these monsters (as of December 13, 2009) that exists. But the number will grow. Hope this helps! :) A second form of an accel synchro summon works is when you have a synchro monster, you can use two tuner monster to accel synchro it or in other words double tuner your monster to form a new one stronger version of it.
You are allowed to use Monster Reborn and similar cards, under most circumstances. The important thing is that the Synchro Monster must have been properly special summoned first. If the Synchro Monster ever goes to the graveyard without being properly summoned by Synchro Summon (ie, Starlight Road can do this) then the Synchro Monster cannot be revived like that. Similarly, if a Synchro Monster had its summon negated, it also can't be brought back from the graveyard. Last thing to consider is some might say "cannot be special summoned except by Synchro Summon" meaning the only way to summon it is by Synchro Summon, there is no other way, even if it was properly summoned first.
A Synchro Summon is a special summon, so the summoned monster can be in attack or defence mode, just must be face up.
Generally, the only way to Synchro Summon is by sending monsters from the field to the Graveyard. There may be some cards that allow you to Synchro Summon with cards from the hand, such as Eccentric Boy, or Special Summon a Synchro Monster with cards from the Graveyard, such as Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor.Eccentric BoyAttribute: WINDType: Spellcaster/Tuner/EffectLevel: 3ATK: 800DEF: 200When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monsters is 1 monster in your hand. The Synchro Monster that used this card as a Synchro Material Monster cannot activate its effect, its effect(s) is negated, and is removed from play when removed from the field.Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of HonorAttribute: DARKType: Winged Beast/Tuner/EffectLevel: 1ATK: 800DEF: 0If this card is face-up on the field, you cannot use it for a Synchro Summon. If this card is in your Graveyard, you can remove from play this card plus 1 non-Tuner "Blackwing" monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels of the removed monsters. The effect(s) of that Synchro Monster is negated.Note that this is treated as a SPECIAL SUMMON, not a Synchro Summon.
You Synchro Summon it using a Lv1 Tuner and a Lv1 monster.
Synchro Monsters can be summoned from the Extra Deck (formally known as the Fusion Deck) by a Synchro Summon.A Synchro Summon can only be performed with one Tuner Monster and one or more face-up, non-Tuner monsters you control (with XX-Saber Gottoms as the exception, who can be Synchro Summoned with more than one Tuner Monster). You can tell if a monster is a Tuner by looking at the card type and seeing "/Tuner" next to it. For example, you can tell Junk Synchron is a Tuner since its card text shows "[Warrior/Tuner]".In order to Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster, the Levels of the monsters used must equal the Level of the Synchro Monster. For example, Gaia Knight - the Force of the Earth is a Level 6 Synchro Monster. That means Junk Synchron, a Level 3 monster, would need a monster(s) whose Level equals 3 to Synchro Summon that Synchro Monster (or any other Level 6 Synchro Monster for that matter). Once you have met the requirements, you can send the monsters from the field to the Graveyard and Synchro Summon the Synchro Monster (this still counts as a Special Summon).Just remember, unlike Gaia Knight - the Force of the Earth, who doesn't have any specific requirements besides a combined Level of 6, some other Synchro Monsters do. Some require specific Types, Attributes, Archetypes or monsters to be used.

Synchro Monsters are the newest type of Monster Card. Their color frame is white and include "/Synchro" next to their Monster Type. They are included in the Extra Deck (formally known as the Fusion Deck) along with the Fusion Monsters (Note that with the release of Synchro Monsters, Konami has placed a limit of 15 cards in an Extra Deck. This means that you can only have a combined total of 15 Fusion and Synchro Monsters in your Extra Deck).You must Synchro Summon a Synchro Monster to place it on the field. To Synchro Summon a monster, you must have one Tuner Monster and one or more non-Tuner Monsters face-up on the field. The combined Levels of the Tuner Monster and the other monsters you wish to use as Synchro Material Monsters must equal the Level of the Synchro Monster. Once these requirements are met, you can send the monsters to the Graveyard to Synchro Summon the appropriate Synchro Monster face-up onto your side of the field (this is treated as a Special Summon as well). It is important to note that the Tuner Monster and the other Synchro Material Monsters must be FACE-UP on the field. Almost always, you cannot use more than one Tuner Monster in the Synchro Summon (except in the case of XX-Saber Gottoms).For more information regarding Synchro Monsters, click the first "Related Link" below.For more help on how to Synchro Summon, click on the second "Related Link" below.
no, the tuners level and the non-tuner/s level must equal the level of the monster you wish to Synchro Summon.
The levels of the Synchro Components must be exactly equal to the Synchro Monster you wish to summon. So for a Lv8 Synchro, you must send 8 level's worth, no more, no less.
