Best Answer

Yes, mostly. Keep a close eye on the Ritual Card.

If you look at Black Illusion Ritual, you can send a monster with one star or more, so any monster will do. The same goes for almost all the other cards who summon one specific monster, you can 'overpay' to some extent. So you could send a Blue-Eyes White Dragon for Black Illlusion Ritual, but not two Blue-Eyes.

If you look at a Ritual Spell card which can summon more than one kind of Ritual Monster though, like 'End of the World', and 'Contract with the Abyss', these say you must send monsters with an Equal sum of levels. You could not use a Lv10 monster for summoning Demise or Ruin with the first, and if you wanted to summon Relinquished with the second, you could only do it with a Lv1 monster.

What is special summoning in Yu-Gi-Oh?

A normal summon is where you just summon a monster and NOT use its effect or ability, just its ATK and DEF. A special summon is where you summon a card and use its effect or ability. You can only special summon a card if you have another card saying that you can special summon a card, you cannot just going around special summoning every monster.

No, Ritual Monsters are 'special summon only' monsters, the only way they can initially reach the field is by Ritual Summon through an appropriate spell card, or by a card that specifically allows you to ignore this, like Ritual Foregone.


Can you summon 'Paladin of White Dragon' with 'Familiar Knight'?

No - Paladin of White Dragon is a Ritual Monster. It can only be initially summoned from hand by the appropriate Ritual Card, or anything that specifically allows the special summon of a Ritual Monster (Ritual Foregone).

Can you use monster reborn to bring a paladin of white dragon to the field without using the ritual card?

No, Ritual Monsters can only ever be summoned to the field initially by their Ritual Spell Card, or anything that specifically says it can summon a Ritual Monster, like Ritual Foregone.You can never summon them initially by other means, including Reasoning, A Hero Emerges, Mystic Tomato, etc, nor can you just discard them to the graveyard and bring them back with Monster Reborn.They can be revived by cards like Monster Reborn only if properly summoned by Ritual Summon first, before they were destroyed. Otherwise the only thing you can do is find a way to return them to hand and summon them with their Ritual Spell card.

Can you special summon a ritual monster using an effect without using the ritual spell?

Only if the card specifically says it can summon a Ritual Monster, like Ritual Foregone. Otherwise, you can't do it, cards like A Hero Emerges, or Monster Gate, cannot special summon a Ritual Monster.Also if you summon the Ritual Monster properly, by Ritual Summon, and it is then sent to the graveyard for whatever reason, then you may bring it back to the field using cards like Monster Reborn. However you cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster from hand and try using Monster Reborn straight away, they are a form of special summon only monster, simply by being Ritual Monsters.


In YuGiOh can a ritual monster be special summoned from the graveyard after using Ritual Foregone?

Can you summon the five headed dragon with the spell advance force?

No, Advance Force lets you Tribute Summon a Lv7 or higher monster. Tribute Summoning is a form of Normal Summoning, so the summoned monster is one from your hand. It in no way allows you to start pulling monsters from the Extra Deck - it can't special summon at all.


Can you take a ritual monster in DECK if you don't have its ritual?

Nothing stops you putting a specific Ritual Monster in your deck, without its Ritual Spell Card. You are free to take monsters who you are unable to summon. It might be that you plan to summon the Ritual Monster with a card like Ritual Foregone. Or it could be the component in a Fusion, for which you never intend to actually summon the component itself.


How do you special summon a yu-gi-oh?

A special summon is any summon that doesn't count as a normal summon, so you can special summon as many monsters as you wish per turn. But someone can't just special summon a monster by themselves. In order to special summon a monster, there must be a card that lets you do so. For example, the card Call of the Haunted lets you special summon a monster from your graveyard. Or, a monster that lets you special summon it in some way is a special summon. Most monsters that let you special summon it have you need to have destroy or remove from play cards. For example, a monster that needs you to remove from play cards is Dark Necrofear. Dark Necrofear can only be special summoned by removing three Fiend-type monsters from your graveyard. Or, there are monsters that can be special summoned when a condition is met. For example, Tragoedia can be special summoned when you take damage. Or, there are monsters that let you special summon monsters from your deck. An example is UFO Turtle. UFO Turtle can special summon any FIRE-attribute monster from your deck with 1500 ATK or less when it is destroyed by battle. Also, Fusion Summoning, Ritual Summoning, and Synchro Summoning all count as Special Summoning.


Can you tribute summon for herald of perfection. The card only says it can be summoned by dawn of the herald. it doesnt say anything about normal summon or set. thanks?

Herald of Perfection is a Ritual Monster. Ritual Monsters can never be normal summoned or Set. Herald of Perfection in fact clearly states it can 'only be Ritual Summoned', so that alone means no Normal Summoning, and no Special Summoning initially by other effects like 'A Hero Emerges'.

Can you special summon a Ritual Monster with Fulfillment of the Contract?

Obviously. Fulfillment of the Contract's effect is that you pay 800 lp and special summon a ritual monster from your graveyard, and when the equip card is destroyed, the ritual monsters destroyed.

You cannot simply discard a Ritual Monster and summon it with that card.
