Leader Summon

A Leader Summon is the Special Summoning a Leader Monster from the Extra Deck.

How to Summon a Leader Monster

1. During your Main Phase 1 or 2, when the monsters that have the requirement level are face-up on the field, you can select a Leader monster from your extra deck that exceed the requrement, these monters that used for Leader Summon are called Leader Material Monsters.

2. After sending the monsters from your side of the field to the Graveyard, you then place the Leader Monster from your Extra Deck in face-up Attack Position or Defense Position on your side of the field.

Additional Rules

A Leader Summon is one kind of Special Summon, like Fusion Summon, Ritual Summon and Synchro Summon The mechanics on Leader Summon is quite similar to a Synchro Summon, but without a TUner monster.

You can Leader Summon while Macro Cosmos is in play. In this case, the Leader Material Monsters are removed from play[1]. Also, Monster Tokens and Trap Monsters (and presumably, Spell Monsters) can be used as Leader Material Monsters.

Leader Monsters are like Synchro Monsters. Once the Synchro Monster is properly Leader Summoned, it can be Special Summoned with "Monster Reborn", "Premature Burial", etc. as long as the Leader Monster is not returned to the Extra Deck. If the Leader Monster is sent to the Graveyard without being Summoned, then you cannot Special Summon it.

Performing a Leader Summon does not start a chain.

You cannot use face-down monsters to perform a Leader Summon.

The monsters used in Leader Summoning are not treated as Tributed.

You may also Leader Summon more than once per turn, if you have the appropriate monsters out on the field to perform it,since it's a Special Summon.

Example

All the Leader monsters have the requirement text that written on their card that allow only particular Level and specific-type or Attribute. As example: Kimono, a lv6 Dinosaur monster that requrie:

-lv2 Dinosaur + lv3 Dinosaur + lv3 Dinosaur

Some Leader monsters need multiple requirement, example for a lv8 Warrior monster, Double Swords Knight:
