Definition
助阵 is a separable verb (离合词) formed by 助 'to help' and 阵 'battle formation'. It means 'to cheer for' or 'to support someone in a competition or difficult situation', often by being present and showing vocal or moral support. When adding measure words, durations, or objects, the two components can split — for example, 助了一次阵 ('cheered once') or 助了整场阵 ('cheered the whole game').
v.o.
to cheer onto root for (by being present or giving vocal support)
