Revenge Battle (Episode 2-4)

The second battle of Battle Week is the Revenge Battle, which will have the Winners and the Challengers (the losers) from the 1:1 Battles going up against each other. The Winners get to form their own teams, and then each Winner's corresponding Challenger that they won against in the 1:1 Battle would be on the opposing team. The contestants are presented with five concepts, without knowing what songs each one has. The concepts are as follows: Sparkling, Pure, Cute, Charismatic, and Enchanting. Once the teams have formed, the Winners team of each concept will find out the two song options, and choose the one that they want, giving the other team the other song option. All the teams would have three days to prepare for their performances on the final day of Battle Week. The winning team of each matchup are voted by majority from the five Unicorns, with each winning team having four members passed directly to the next round. The other 21 contestants who would be moving onto the next round would be decided through the global fan votes.

Universe: Road to Prism

The next phase, Universe: Road to Prism, officially begins, challenging contestants to climb through five hierarchical levels within PRISM, each bringing them closer to their ultimate goal. All contestants start at the initial level, M, but their ranks will change based on their performances and the points they earn throughout the competition. Only the top eight contestants who reach the highest level, P, will receive PRISM Tickets and secure their debut.

Level Test and Level Station

At the Level Station, contestants are individually evaluated and ranked into three tiers: High, Average, and Low, each with different chances for promotion and risks of elimination. In the High tier, four contestants advance while two are eliminated. The Average tier sees three contestants moving forward and three being eliminated, while the Low tier faces the toughest odds, with only two advancing and four leaving the competition. To determine the results, each rank is divided into two groups that compete against each other, with their performances deciding who stays and who must leave. Contestants in the Average and Low tiers perform song covers, while those in the High tier receive original songs, which will be officially released under their names.
