I do that too to a limited extent. If I use 2 friends per level I can only progress 5 levels per day. So instead I try to fight 2x with only 1 friend and if it fails I fight a 2nd time. But trading friends for EE this way is very limited, because it still takes 65 minutes to revive the extra EE I use that way. The time loss of that may set me back just the extra fight I tried to achieve. In practice it seems quite difficult to fight more than 5 battles in the higher EB levels in a day, specially if I have to work in the mean time and loose a few hours on that.

The best way to do it is to fight the first fights in a period with only 1 knight, using up my 2 or 4 strongest armors to avoid the 2nd fight. That will buy me 1 or 2 extra fights at the end of the period.

When I figure I don't have a chance to win the first 1 friend fight without a 2nd fight I don't do it. If there is a limited chance I may try it, but not a 3rd and 4th 1 friend fight.
