In fact, summons 2-4 monsters BEFORE trigering the battles with melissan and have them placed so that they draw the attention of Melissan's summons.
I used a deva but I'm running out of deva spells so I like to keep one for the real last battle. I also have a lot of Skeleton warriors but she just kills them. Last thing I have is spider spawn but those don't last really long unless I keep a tanks near them.

You don't really need to kill those summons, per se. Mel is your only real concern. But it doesn't hurt to kill those shadow slayers if you have a chance.
The problem is that when I've killed those she has summoned about 20 monsters extra already. Looks like I have to replay and get a lot of summon abilities.

IIRC, one tactic I've used after she teleports is to summon a tough monster right next to her to force Mel to deal with it while I move my party closer to her.
She always puts blade barriers on so I need a mage there as well which is killed by anything she summons. If I deal with the summons first (which is possible since they don't do very much damage on theirself) the problem is that Melissan just comes back. But I'll try again.
