And before the debates get started, Nico being gay isn't a valid reason to vote for Luke or to say mean things about him. I can already tell were about to have some : "Well I voted for Luke because I don't like Nico anymore because he's gay." (I don't know if we have any users that are gay but it's still offensive to anyone reading it.)

That just makes the fight pointless if your gonna judge a character by one thing that doesn't even have anything to do with how well they can fight, Just saying. To star off the argument, Nico is a son of Hades. He basically scares everyone, he's been to Tartartus and back alone and he actually saw it the way it really was. He can shadow travel, use geokinesis, and do multiple forms of necromancy. He's also a more than proficient swordsman and he seems to know more than everyone.

Luke on the other hand is an excellent swordsman, he has his powers as a son of Hermes, lock picking, stealing, etc. and he has a clever mind. Though Luke was a formidable villain in the original series I'd say that everyone has improved in skill greatly so I'm saying Nico takes this one.
