While moon druid shifting to bear/dire wolf is really strong at level 2-3, it very quickly becomes lackluster.

A group of 6 polearm trained fighters is hardly what I would call "immobile". It's not like we are looking at a formation of pikemen here- just a skirmish between a group of 6 trained fighters versus (4?) or so PCs. By that standard, you could say a group of 4 PCs using any combination of melee...
