Nico can just force Percy to die. Make him blow up in flames. Raise the dead to fight him. Summon the skeleton of Luke who can beat him in a sword battle. And even more.

While Percy could only control his blood or attack him with water or kill him with a sword or get horses to trample Nico. And that's about it.

Percy's powerful, but in a death match, Nico has the advantage because his power revolves around the Underworld and death. Nico's powers are also more lethal. It's not that simple. If Nico could just 'force' Percy to die, the children of Hades would not have lost WW2. As with raising the dead, Percy would be completely capable of fighting them, as he did in The Son of Neptune. He could probably also beat Luke not, as even if Luke is still better at fighting, Percy would just win by summoning water. Having powers related to underworld and death does not make you automatically win fights. I'm not saying children of Hades are unbeatable, but they do have an advantage in a death match.

But in WW2, the demigod children of Poseidon and Zeus would outnumber the children of Hades. Hades was the only one not to break his oath and in the myths, he didn't cheat on his wife as often as the other two of the Big 3. Even if it was just Hades's children vs. Zeus's OR Poseidon's on their own would beat the children of Hades by sheer number.

The children of the Big 3 are almost unbeatable and they are extremely dangerous. But the children have the most lethal powers, as I have said before, and that simply just makes them more dangerous to fight against.

And yes, Percy has a chance to kill Nico, but Nico has a wider variety.

All I'm saying is that Nico would beat Percy, not always, but around 5/8 of the time.
