I tested this theory with my second account (new) with my level 140 character. With my level 140 guy, I can beat the EB 19 times with 1 knight. When I hired him as a friend for my second account, his attack was about 1/4 as strong (for my level 25 guy) as well as his defense. Keep leveling and all aspects of your friends will get stronger.

You are (almost) right. The attack is dimisnished, the defense is the same. Your basic hit strength is calculated as

(your attack) x (level factor) / (EB defense).

The level factor is 164 at level 100 and above. I did some fights on lower level accounts and I have the impression (not sure) the level factor is

4 + (1.6 x your game level).

So the factor would be 164 at level 100, 84 at level 50, 36 at level 20.

In the total calculation there is also the elemental advantage and the number of knights you use to be considered.
