Jeezy/JC's argument:

Geralt has basically one job to do here and then anything else he adds to the battle is gravy. He has used his pre-battle on Chrom giving him full knowledge of Chrom's schtick including his abilities. So Geralt will be aware of Support Unit and that it can offer a 50% parameter boost but that it also only lasts as long as Chrom is alive. Geralt will be starting next to Sephiroth so he can pass that information on to Sephiroth to use as he likes along with the other pertinent info on Chrom (he's a chump, his wife is ugly, etc.)

So Sephiroth will know how to bust the Raziel boost but he may not even need to because Nep-Yuffie-Samus has brought a cool toy with her, the Gunship from Metroid Prime 3. A bombing run from the Gunship will probably blow Chrom to smithereens. Even if Chrom tries to be cowardly and hide, there's no real interior area for him to hide away in where he starts and he'll need to get to the keep where Seph and Geralt are. Unfortunately Nep-Yuffie-Samus will in the way in her neutral position, and given that she has pre-battle planned with Geralt, she knows which way the enemy will be coming from. She also has boosted durability from her Neptune form and a powerful Nova Beam from Samus to blast fools with.

With the Gunship flying around and Seph knowing what he looks like, Chrom won't be long for this world. With him goes the parameter boost for Raziel and from there Nep-Yuffie-Samus and Sephiroth can easily duo Raziel for both lives. Sephiroth still has his slow debuff to keep Raziel in line plus he has Curaga to heal him and NYS up. Raziel can glide around but with his wings in tatters he can't protect Chrom from either the Gunship or a flying teleporting Sephiroth. (Also Geralt may be able to get some crossbow bolts or bombs in on Raziel, while staying a respectful distance away and protected by Quen.)
