Geyser spam from enemy hero - Any way to prevent it?

Geyser does physical damage so you could get some units with physical resistance like Guardsmen, Paladins, Ghosts, Black Knights, etc. You can also equip Slippery Cuirass, Twinkling Boots, and Leather Dress for 30% physical resistance. If you're lucky, you can get two copies of those artifacts and equip them on your companion for 60% physical resistance.

Trying to avoid Paladins. Like the plague. Too cheesy for me. As for ghosts and black knights, same problem as always. No ressing them.

Only problem being you need a full undead army for that I think, otherwise it will hit your own (living) troops as well.

Well not at all., it attracts for a nearby unit so just dont spawn evlin next to your living trooops.

Or just cast Stone Skin on especially vulnerable units. That can easily halve the damage they take.

Well Slippery cuiras seems as exclusive rare item to me i played several games and looked several scansaves and i never had even one ...
stoneskin help but if you have more units without ph resistance you wont protect them all .. and for example against ktahu he starts first so first damage will be always very high without items

It's all luck. I've gotten the slippery cuirass on every playthrough in KB:L and I have it in my current AP playthrough.

However, there is also the scale set with scale armor, scale shield, and scale bracelet that gives 20% physical resistance. You can get up to 45% resistance without any repeated items. 60% if you can get another twinkling boot.

yes there is .. but gwtting set is even more luck ...
