A player reviving another player.
CPR is a method of reviving a lost teammate in multiplayer.
Execution[]
When one of your teammates fall in battle, a letter will be above them (Y for Xbox and triangle for PS3). You will have to go near them and press the button. When the line crosses over the heart, you needed to hit the button again. The line will come back, and you will have to repeat again and again 5 times. The amount of health your partner gets back is dependent on how well your timing was on hitting the line on the heart.
A player who needs to be revived.
Risks[]
Although this resurrects your teammate, you are still vulnerable to attacks while executing CPR. This can be very frustrating when you are in a clump of enemies because they won't stop attacking you just to watch you perform CPR on your friend. Thus, it is more advisable to kill all enemies before attempting to revive a teammate. However, it is possible to spam the Y button and quickly revive your teammate in a tough situation. This will leave them at very low health though, so it is advisable to do this only in situations where it might be necessary. Unfortunately though, sometimes it's impossible to revive your teammate in some areas because you'll get attacked, an example being the area in Industrial Castle with the stomping mechanism. If your teammate dies there, it will be hard to resurrect them since you'll keep taking damage from the trap. In this case, you may have to leave your teammate behind.
