If you are all alone, you are booted back out to the map. You keep all of your experience points that you gained during that level.

If you are with friends, they will have a chance to revive you with CPR. If both of you die, you are both booted back out to the map and keep all your experience points gained during that level.

How does experience/leveling work in this game?
Experience is distributed on a per hit basis. Two players can both gain experience from an enemy (boss or regular) as long as they are both causing damage to that enemy.

--Each time you level up you are granted a certain number of experience blocks that you can apply to one of four attributes (strength, defense, magic, speed).

--The only bar that grants newfound abilities through applying experience blocks is magic.

--Combos are learned automatically as your character level rises.

--Maximum level achievable is level 99.

--Different characters on your profile each gain experience seperately. You have to play as each character for them to gain experience.

Yes, the experience and unlocks they gain in any mode is carried over to the next.
