Gameplay[]
The challenge mission follows the pattern of the classic boss levels, with a few waves of increasing difficulty followed by a boss fight.
Waves[]
The goal is to defend the two central cores, whilst seeking to unite enemies of opposite gender together on the battlefield. Enemies assigned a gender are indicated visually by either a blue top hat (boy) or a red bow tie (girl). Gender enemies are also indicated on the map overlay by blue ♂ and red ♀ symbols.
Players must rely on aggravating gender-based enemies by either directly attacking them, or coming within close melee range. Aggravated (aggroed) enemies will target the player, rather than the Eternia Crystals. This allows temporary control over an enemy's movement, enabling the player to guide gender-based enemies to their respective partners.
The challenge relies heavily on a player's defense being near self-sufficient along unattended enemy lanes, whilst the player(s) focus their attention on uniting the gender-based enemies.
Completing each wave requires a certain number of enemy "couples" to be united. During each wave, both gender and non-gender based enemies will continue to spawn infinitely. As in the Treasure Hunt challenge, items and experience are not rewarded for defeating enemies.
Boss Fight[]
Main Article: Mega Cupid
After clearing the final wave, Mega Cupid appears. It shoots homing love arrows to attack which temporarily disable players hit in a similar way to Spider webs. The arrows can blocked via Reflection Beams. Defeating Mega Cupid completes the challenge.
Secret (Redux Only)[]
When playing on Ascension, a teddy bear with purple star shaped glasses is present underneath the central bridge between the two cores. If the player chooses to take off the glasses before the boss fight, they will be able to keep them as an equipable accessory for winning. However, a second more powerful Mega Cupid wearing those same glasses will spawn when the battle begins.

Notes/Tips[]
- When setting the costume for the Countess in-game, it says to complete the challenge on at least Hard to unlock the Queen Of Hearts, however players have reported to have unlocked it on Easy. As for unlocking the Initiate's costume, it says to beat the challenge on Easy.
- Utilize the overhead bridge to unite enemies of opposing gender together.
- 'Couplers' are advised to unequip any DPS pets they may have equipped, as they can - and will kill gender mobs (fairies are advisable as it allows 'couplers' to heal any damage the gender mobs would do to them.
- Apprentices/Adepts should avoid using Lightning Towers, as they can kill gendered mobs from practically anywhere on the map.
- In Redux, Build Phases are 20 seconds longer and the distance gendered mobs can pair up is increased.
