Power Seat Round
Before the live episodes (this round aired exclusively online in livestream through Facebook, YouTube, and the network's other social media channels), the semifinalists were pitted against each other to claim one of the two Seat of Powers, dubbed as the Ultimate Resbak Showdown. The Seat of Powers serves as immunity against the other contenders and gives them opportunity to select two contenders to pit against each other. The contender garnering the highest score from the judges and another contender from the public vote will claim the Seat of Power. All songs are reprise of their previous performances, either during the daily rounds or the semifinals. JM Bales and Mark Douglas Dagal received the highest public vote and judges' score respectively. They are seated first in the seats of power.

Daily Rounds
In the daily episodes, the two semifinalists who are in the Seat of Power picks one semifinalist each. The picked semifinalists will be pitted against each other for a chance to dethrone the semifinalists in the Seat of Powers. The winner of the first round is selected by the majority of the judges. The winner will now challenge one of the semifinalists in the Seat of Powers to go in a sing-off. The winner is based on 50% public vote and 50% judges' score. If the challenger wins, he/she dethrones the seated semifinalist. If the seated semifinalist wins, she/he remains in the Seat of Power. The remaining contenders in the Seat of Power will move forward to the week long Grand-Finals dubbed as "Ang Huling Tapatan" while the other contenders are eliminated.
