Well, we've already seen that Ruby is kind of terrible without her weapon, and I doubt Weiss would have been taught hand to hand (she's very focused on 'proper' fighting with Myrtenaster after all), so I don't think they'd really do much physical damage. What Weiss has going for her is her ability to push and pull her opponent around with her glyphs, possibly even knocking them out on a wall or something, and to move out of the way herself using them. She wouldn't really do that well, but she'd be better than Ruby, who has her speed, but needs a large area to use it effectively (she'd run into walls otherwise) and it seems pretty aura-intensive; much moreso than Weiss's glyphs.
