Default Question about combat

I just had a quick question about combat and asking someone for help since me and my friends were debating this a bit;

when fighting a monster and another player puts down a modifier card on that monster, am I able to for help afterwards? Or do I have to ask for help beforehand.

Ex I'm level 5 and fighting a level 1 monster, someone increases their combat power to 11, can I ask for help then? Or do I have to ask for help when the monster is level 1

The conditions required for you to ask for help are that you are currently losing the combat and that you do not already have a helper. You can do this at any stage when those two conditions exist.

Thus, in your example, you can ask for and gain help after the monster was buffed to 11, but you cannot even ask for help when its combat strength is 1.

follow up question:

There is one card where you have to find out if you will have help first and then roll the die and if you get a six the monster becomes that one bunny from the movie. It is ordinarily level 2 I think but on a six it becomes 15. If I am not losing before I roll am I allowed to ask for help as insurance? Normally we aren't and I realize this is a specific instance but it came up the other night so I thought I would ask.

Because the card specifically says you can ask for help, you may do so, even if you wouldn't normally need the help.
