Almost all Synchro Monsters specify "One Tuner + one or more non-Tuner monsters" or similar. However XX-Saber Gottoms does not, as well as a Tuner, he just requires Earth monsters as components, these can be Earth attribute Tuners if you wish. Also, Red Nova Dragon has two tuners as a requirement.
A Synchro Monster needs a Tuner, and one or more non-Tuners. Another Synchro Monster would indeed satisfy the 'non-Tuner' part, unless the Synchro Monster had become a Tuner through another card effect.
No. Synchro Monsters are always placed in the Extra Deck at the beginning of each Duel and can only be Synchro Summoned from there. If a card effect would cause a Synchro Monster to be returned to the Deck or the hand, it is placed back in the Extra Deck instead.
There is nothing inherent about a Synchro Monster that stops it being used as the Synchro Component for another Synchro Summon. So you could freely use Ally of Justice Catastor and a Lv 1 Tuner for Goyo Guardian, for example.
It depends on which Synchro monster you want to Synchro Summon. If on the Synchro monster's description it says 1 Tuner + 1 or more non-Tuner's then you can. If however it says, for example on Junk Warrior, "Junk Synchron" + 1 or more non-Tuner's, then you have to use junk synchron as the tuner.
Synchro Summons in themselves are Special Summons, so in that regard, they can be special summoned.
Some effects let you 'just' special summon a Synchro Monster, such as Starlight Road. The difference with this is you are not properly summoning the Synchro Monster, so can't bring it back from the graveyard once destroyed.
If a Synchro Monster is summoned properly (ie, by Synchro Summon) and is then destroyed, it can be special summoned from the graveyard with cards like Monster Reborn.
No the card text clearly states that you need 1 tuner + 1 or more non tuner.
No, Synchro Monsters are not Fusion Monsters, though they both go into your Extra Deck.
No, not unless the Synchro Monster actually says it is, like Formula Synchron, which is both a Synchro and a Tuner. Normally though they are just Synchros.
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.
Somewhat, yes. A synchro does not count for you Normal Summon for the turn. This means that you can do multiple Synchro summons in one turn. But if you are implying that a Synchro Summon can be usd for a card effect triggerd by or that needs a special summon, then a Synchro summon will not count. ^That's a bit vague. Synchro Summons will most certainly trigger/count towards effects that look for Special Summons - case in point, Bottomless Trap Hole, which can respond to a Synchro Summon because it is a kind of Special Summon. Special Summon is the default, and then you have special types, like Fusion Summon and Synchro Summon. Anything that looks for a Special Summon, will trigger from any of those. However if it only triggers from a Synchro Summon, then only a Synchro Summon will do, not a regular Special Summon.
Currently, no Synchro monster has a negative level.
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.
Special summon Quickdraw Synchron discarding Level Eater, special summon Level Eater from the graveyard, then sync them. Level Eater -- 1 star If this card is in the Graveyard, you can activate its effect by selecting 1 face-up Level 5 or higher monster you control. Reduce that monster's Level by 1. Special Summon this card from the Graveyard. This card cannot be Tributed except for a Tribute Summon. Quickdraw Synchron -- 5 star You can send 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard and Special Summon this card from your hand. You can substitute this card for any 1 "Synchron" Tuner for a Synchro Summon. This card cannot be used as a Synchro Material Monster, except for the Synchro Summon of a monster that lists a "Synchron" monster as a Tuner monster.
A Synchro Summon is a special summon, so the summoned monster can be in attack or defence mode, just must be face up.
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.
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.

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.

You can perform as many special summons in a turn as you have available resources to do so, there is no hard limit. Yes, you can use Rescue Cat to summon a Tuner and another monster, and then use them in a Synchro Summon - the turn has a restriction on normal summons, but not Special Summons. (Also note, you do not 'tribute' the components for a Synchro Summon, you just send them to the graveyard.)
Currently, no Synchro monster has a negative level.
Yes, you can, as a Synchro Summon is a special summon, you can perform a Normal Summon on the same turn as one or more Synchro Summons.
Nope. Same as De-Fusion. You can't get an opponent's monster on your side of the field by activating De-Synchro or De-Fusion.
No, Synchro material must be face-up.
