On Android (without guild bonuses), I think the answer is no, but I'd love to hear other people's opinions and strategies. If you have 10 friends using awesome armor, I think you can get close, but you'll likely come up a bit short every time. This can be changed in your favor with a few gems, but without gems... I think it's near impossible. Having non-plus legendary boss armor can help (they're better than the big 4), but it's not going to allow you to finish level 43 without gems.

This means your primary knight and possibly a friend with good armor. The boss will automatically hit you with back-to-back crits on your second attempt (no idea why, but it always does) and this means you will only get a few shots off with your primary. If the boss has 7K (or more) in hp left, this is going to be an impossible task without gems.
Now with that said, with some careful planning and prudent gem spending, you can probably manage this. Knowing that you need to get the boss down to a low enough level to kill him during the second round is vital to your success. You don't want to wait until round 2 to start using gems for automatic crits (you'll be doing less damage at this time). What you want to do is find your hardest hitting knight in round 1 and throw in some extra crits via gems at that point. This will maximize your gem spending, but it's a bit risky, since you could end up spending some gems and still not win (which would really suck). Of course, if you have some gems to spare, the safest method is to buy additional energy for 10 gems.
