WHAT IS A DARK SYNCHRO???!!

[cerberus21]

I'm more of an "old school" duelist, and i hadn't even figured out what a synchro was until i got the 5D's starter deck for christmas. Now i'm seeing "Dark Synchro" monsters in shops. What IS a dark synchro, exactly, and how do they work (summon, etc.)?

A Dark synchro is the negative version of a synchro basically. Rather than add a levels using a Tuner, the player mush use a "Dark Tuner" (no not a DARK attribute Tuner). Dark Tuners usually have high levels, like 8 or 9.

 

Instead of adding, you subtract the non-dark tuner's from the Dark Tuners level. By doing so, you end up with a Negative Number. Therfore most Dark Synchros are low levels like 5 or 4 or 3.

 

They are colored black and have stars placed on the opposite side, which are blue also.

 

Check out Yu Gi Oh Wikia for more information.

 

They havent been realesed yet.

So are they actually real (as in released)? And they're basically summoned the same way, but with a Dark tuner instead of a tuner?

Dark Synchros are exclusive to the anime as of now.

Er DeVil try reading the set list. (Raging Battle 80/80, Ancient Prophecy 11/80 (5+ Characters, Core Chimail and Earthbounds so its more or less completely taken))

 

There's no news on any release, Ancient Prophecy (18th April OCG) has no room for Dark Synchros, Dark Tuners or their support.

 

Cerberus they might just end up the Clear Beasts of 5Ds, (Clear Beasts only set in GX to have 0 Card Releases, the closest people got to the cards was TF3) saying that they could be released, but there's just too many main cast (10 atm, and that's just the Signers and Dark Signers) and only 4 known.

I think i was typing my post while you posted :oops: Thx for the info. Do you know if they are going to be released?

[.Gideon.]

I heared that they will be released in raging battle maybe ?? or the pack after raging battle Im not sure

[cerberus21]

Thx guys. Here's to hoping they come out :P

Ill almost gaurentee release after Ancient Prophecy. Ancient Prophecy has the last of the original 5 dragons(5Ds) and im betting whenever they are release(IF they are) a Dark Synchro will be the cover image, so itll prob be after ancient prophecy.

Dark Synchro Monsters

 

Dark Synchro Monsters are a new monster category that debuted in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's episode 27. Dark Synchro Monsters are Synchro Summoned by sending to the Graveyard 1 Dark Tuner monster and 1 non-Dark Tuner monster. Besides the "Dark Tuner Monster", you can use any monster for the Dark Synchro Summon. The non-Dark Tuner Monster's Level minus the Dark Tuner Monster's Level must be equal to the Dark Synchro Monster's Level (note that the Dark Synchro Monsters have a negative level, something that isn't possible with any other monster in the game).

 

Dark Synchro Monsters and Dark Tuner monsters are not simply DARK Synchro Monsters, but are a completely different monster category, although they are admittedly similar to Synchro Monsters. The color scheme of that is opposite of a Synchro Monster, with a black card frame.

 

It was shown that Dark Synchro monsters function as Synchro Monsters with Negative Levels for any game-related purposes when Yusei's Synchro Destructor dealt damage twice instead of just once because he destroyed Kiryu's One-Hundred Eye Dragon with his Stardust Dragon.

 

The only known Dark Synchro monsters are "Freezing Fitzgerald", "Jet-Black Zumwald", "One-Hundred Eye Dragon", and "Underground Arachne".
