Episode 6 (February 26)
At the end of the first round, the randomizer selected Mark Avila to commence the second round. The last Clasher chosen by Avila then chose the first contestant of the group to perform first.
After the first battle, the randomizer selected two Clashers (Jayvee Real and Lara Bernardo) to take turns picking their sets of four clashers before switching their places to the opposite groups. Real volunteered his group to perform first while the last Clasher originally selected by Bernardo started the next battle.
In this round, the clashers were paired. Isaac Zamudio, who was the last to be safe from Round 2, was selected by the hosts to choose his partner from the remaining Clashers for a duet, while the selected partner each took turns to compose the pairs.
The last two remaining Clashers, who were not chosen to be paired, have the chance to steal another Clasher to be part of their duo. Italicized names are those who had a chance to steal.
Mark Avila chose to steal Jemy Picardal, while Jean Drilon chose to steal Arabelle dela Cruz. The initial duos of Picardal and dela Cruz, who were Isaac Zamudio and Liana Castillo, were eventually paired.
For each set, a pair will be chosen electronically, who will in turn choose their opponent pair. After the performance, the Clash Panel will vote for a pair who will advance to the next round. For the losing pair, they will compete with each other in Matira ang Matibay round and only one will remain, still subject to the votes of the Clash Panel.
