The P-Staff/Pistaph is a bipedal missile platform used by the Bydo to protect fortresses and other important places. This blue mechanoid is present in most missions as a ground-based enemy. It cannot fly, but it's missiles often arc high. It's a moderately tough unit that launches upwards of four to six missiles at a time. P-Staffs will take advantage of terrain and may be hard to attack with forward-firing weapons at times. Missiles are recommended, particularly Scatter Bombs.

R-Type Command

Though its appearance doesn't differ too much from previous encounters, it's called the "Pistaph" in this mission. It's role as ground support hasn't changed, but Bydo commanders need to make sure it has close air support, as it is a weak unit. Despite this shortcoming, it's one of the few Bydo units with a decent radar range.
