The segment Duet with Me from the Philippine variety show Studio 7 features battles against two singers performing a duet with an artist. The winner will automatically advance to the top 64 preliminary round of The Clash.[7]
Top 64
Originally, the 12 winners of Duet with Me, a segment of the musical variety show Studio 7, automatically advances to the first round after Remy Luntayao and Krezia Mae Toñaco withdrew from the competition before the final auditions of the remaining top 52 clashers selected by vocal coach Jai Sabas-Aracama; songwriter, music producer, and South Border lead vocalist Jay Durias; and TV director Bert de Leon.[8] Jeniffer Maravilla and Pamela Quidol, who both battled and lost to Luntayao and Toñaco respectively, are brought back by the show to replace them and join the Top 64.
The 64 clashers were electronically paired to battle it out in a singing duel with the winner advancing to the next round. A wild card round was announced in the tenth episode after the judges chose to eliminate the selected clasher and its opponent during their battle in Round 2.[9] The judges selects two of the temporarily eliminated clashers from round two to compete for the sixteenth seat for the third round.

Episode 11 (October 26)
Sassa Dagdag was selected by the randomizer last week for the advantage where she'll be the recipient for her team's clasher save. She receives immunity from the second round and decides to choose the clasher from both team to compete first.
The wild card clashers, a pair of two, were selected by the judges among the losers in the second round. The chosen pair were Nef Medina from episode 11 and Princess Vire from episode 10.
In this round, the clashers are paired. Marlon Ejeda was selected by the randomizer to move the three clashers in his team to fill in the spots for the Black Team. The randomizer then selects one clasher that will choose his/her partner from the opposite team for a duet while the selected partner each take turns to compose the pairs. Below is the groupings selection. Italicized names are those electronically selected.
For each set, a pair will be chosen electronically that will choose their opponent pair. After the performance, the clash panel will vote for a pair that will advance to the next round. For the losing pair, they will compete against each other in a Matira ang Matibay round and only one will remain, still subject to the votes of the clash panel. This season introduces the "Clash" or "Pass" advantage where the challenged pair will either proceed or opt the opponent pair's challenge for one battle but if the pair choose the latter option, they will automatically compete against another pair selected by the randomizer in the next battle.
