Who is considered a helper, the combine Combat Strength player or all players involved in the Combat? "One-Shot," forced, etc. Combat Quote:

Re: Warhammer 40,000 Helper Rule Questions
I'm not going to answer every question in your post because I think many of them can be cleared up with a single explanation.
If you can't beat a monster on your own, you may have one (and only one) player join you in the fight, adding their combat strength to yours for the duration of the fight. If the two of you then kill all the monsters, you split the Treasure according to whatever deal you struck when you accepted that person's help. Conversely, if the two of you cannot beat the monsters, you must both Run Away -- so you share the possible rewards but also the possible risk. Playing cards into a fight does not constitute "help" as defined by the Munchkin rules. If I play a one-shot to increase your combat strength, I am not a "helper" as the term is used in the Munchkin rules if I haven't also joined the fight with my full combat strength. If you have questions that this explanation doesn't clear up, please feel free to reply below. (Everyone else, please let Fufu weigh in before jumping in on this one. Thanks.)

Re: Warhammer 40,000 Helper Rule Questions
Thank you Andrew Hackard for your reply.
We have player(s) that say that a player should accept their help for Treasure that are "Ork" which can level up on another player's Combat phase regardless if the player(s) can or cannot defeat the Monster(s)--or the "Ork" player will increase the Monster(s) strength on the opposing player(s) in Combat if they are not willing to accept their help.

Re: Warhammer 40,000 Helper Rule Questions
As Andrew noted above, you can only ever have One helper. I cannot answer for sure what happens if you have one helper and a "force" helper card is played offahand.
As for negotiations, I thought there as a section in the FAQ about that, but you can negotiate for a share of the Treasures that the Monster(s) will give, and Items that you have in front of you that can be legally traded after the fight.

Right. You can't negotiate for levels and you can't swap cards from your hand (unless the helper is eligible to receive Charity). The main player could play cards such as GUALs on the helper, but can't just hand them over other than by trading Items as described in the rules.
