* In ''WebAnimation/{{RWBY}}'', [[CuteBruiser Nora]] seems to be invoking this trope, even though her [[SuperheroSpeciation Semblance]] is about using [[ShockAndAwe electrical energy]] [[FeedItWithFire to fuel her attacks]]. She decorates her {{grenade launcher}}/[[DropTheHammer hammer]] combo and its projectiles with cute little {{heart symbol}}s, and during a battle in Volume 3 unleashes a supercharged attack that fires all her munitions at once, in a heart-shaped spread. The resulting explosion is not only pretty and pink, it also leaves a good chunk of the arena a smoking ruin.

The user is almost AlwaysFemale and likely to be TheHeart of the team. With rare exception, [[BeautyEqualsGoodness good]] or [[EvilIsSexy evil]], they're also [[MsFanservice very]] [[MrFanservice attractive]]. Male examples are usually with [[BattleCouple their girlfriends nearby]]. A solo male example might be PlayedForLaughs, but throughout the new 10s and into the 2020s there's been growing acceptance of neutral and positive examples of a man that's InTouchWithHisFeminineSide enough to use it unironically.

SubTrope of ThePowerOfLove. SisterTrope to HolyHandGrenade. SuperTrope to ProjectileKiss.

* ''VideoGame/{{Transistor}}'': Switch() tosses out CardvascularLove-type {{pink|IsErotic}}-colored HeartSymbol projectiles that CharmPerson enemies to Red's side, but they only deal damage when upgraded with Switch() or Purge().

* ''VideoGame/{{Shantae}}'': The mermaids series have an attack where they blow a kiss and little hearts float above them, damaging Shantae if she touches the hearts while jumping over them.

* Those who have seen ''LightNovel/MagiciansAcademy'' are familiar with the thing known only as [[http://img1.lln.crunchyroll.com/i/spire3/40cecbb3ea35f471723a0aceece292101234345269_full.jpg Halpshiel.]] An Angel of love and former teacher, he was exiled for forcibly French-kissing the entire student body and faculty. Among other grievances.

** Princess Cadance' magical ability is bringing love to others and mending broken relationships. In the second episode of the season two finale, [[spoiler:[[BigBad Queen Chrysalis]] is taken out by her and [[KnightInShiningArmor Shining Armor]] with a massive explosion of pure love that reforms the DeflectorShields and ejects her and her Changeling subjects out of Canterlot [[TwinkleInTheSky and over the horizon]]. The background music is even called "Love Conquers All"]].

* Chalis ([[DubNameChange Heart in Japan]]) from ''VideoGame/GoldenSunDarkDawn'', is [[CaptainObvious heavily associated with hearts]]. While it mostly plays into a tarot or playing card theme, she is known for [[TheVamp seducing men to manipulate them]] and has some attacks that come across this way (Illusion Perfume, Scornful Caress).

If they do their own fighting, expect their style to be very [[SheFu feminine]]. They tend to be associated with [[ArmorPiercingSlap slap attacks]] and [[DanceBattler dance moves]], and suggestive [[AssKicksYou butt attacks]] and [[KissOfDeath kissing attacks]].

** Cure Lovely from ''Anime/HappinessChargePrecure''.

* In ''Anime/YesPrettyCure5'', Cure Dream has heart as her element.

** Cure Happy from ''Anime/SmilePrettyCure'' could also have this as part of her power, as evidenced by her Happy Shower attack and her rarely used, almost motherly, giant Ultra form.

** Cure Lovely from "Anime/HappinessChargePrecure".

* ''VideoGame/EternalSeniaHydrangeaAfterTheRain'': [[HornyDevils Succubi]] attack by blowing a kiss, sending a pink HeartSymbol to strike the enemy.
