I believe they changed it a while back so you could only have one helper at a time.
I thought that was for custom critters with defensive powers? IE, you have 2 emp critters, and only one will actually use the heals and buffs?
But if this is the case... ugh, i got some pondering to do....

Oh, and Crimson demands you play this arc-> Twisted Knives (MA Arc #397769)
Just create a boss and have it & the surrounding mobs set to ally. Sure the player will lose xp, but it sounds like you're making it for a storyarc anyway.

I seem to recall this being an old bug with allied ambushes. Only one of them would show up while the rest just sit around. It far predates the "designated helper" thing.

Well, that might work, except there's no real way to guarantee that they'll spawn close enough to intervene in the fight.. I can try that, though, thanks!

Friendly ambushes have always had this problem.
If you add an allied boss they might not spawn close enough, but you can drag the tough fight over to them if you need their help....depending on the map of course.
