To increase your melee potential do not use a Front line. Shift all your people normally in the front to the center and all the people you want to protect to the back. This now allows left, center, and right to attack monsters in front. As an example I will give you my formation.
Left - Samurai and Vi
Middle - Ranger
Right - Ninja and RFS-81
Back - Gadgeteer, Bishop, Psionic
This allows me to have my four melee people able to attack anything directly in front or behind as well as protecting my flanks. Your only vulnerablitiy is getting surrounded but proper use of terrain and spells can prevent that.
Also for all Rynjin cast Soul Shield and Element Shield at max power the first round. In addition make sure you have Magic Shield up before combat starts. I had no problem with any Rynjin at level 15 and higher using these spells.
