If you look on the last page, people were saying you have to use gems even with the story armors. I just wanted to correct them and encourage them to keep trying. The gap is still small enough. Max the big four then max the bigger four and you will beat the epic bosses 43 times easily.
I'm on Android and we don't have guilds or guild bonuses, so maybe that's what's different here. I have Legendary+ armor and even when matching up elements, beating level 43 can be a challenge. By the time level 43 rolls around, the bosses hit like trucks and having a good set of friends certainly helps, but I have never beaten a level 43 boss in just 1 round (i.e. 5 knights). I've always needed the help of the additional 2 knights to beat level 43 (i.e. it's never easy and it's always close).

In most cases, if I beat level 43 without gems, it's because I barely squeaked by... it's certainly not easy and I can't imagine doing it with story level armor and no gems.

Also to be clear, you beat Phyrus on level 43 with only the Big 4 and 3 friends (no gems, except to speed up the beginning of the event)? I'm assuming you used a 5+2 strategy (i.e. 3 + 2 friends and 1 + 1 friend)? Knowing my experience on Android, I just can't imagine how that's even possible.
