Also Piper should be higher ... Also Hazel should be higher as well ...

Tier One: Thalia, Frank, Reyna

Tier Two: Jason, Percy, Annabeth

Tier Three: Piper, Hazel

Tier Four: Nico

Tier Last: Leo Could you explain why you think Piper or Hazel are more skilled fighters than Nico? Nico managed to fight hundreds of monsters at the House of Hades, with one hand (holding the Scepter of Diocletian in the other) and emerged practically unscathed.

Piper managed to fence with a giantess (Periboea) one-on-one. However, Nico was also able to stun the giant Orion by tearing his bowstring and breaking his nose, in a brief skirmish in BoO.

Hazel is not really shown doing amazing sword-fighting in the later books of HoO. Her skill is in cavalry-fighting, fighting while riding Arion. So she can't be directly compared to Nico.
