The water shield generated by Percy in "The Last Olympian" was only durable enough to block glass shards, so you cannot simply state it as a fact that a water shield generated by Poseidon would be able to block a strike from the Master Bolt. Also, Riptide has only blocked strikes from the Master Bolt in the non-canon movie, so there goes that point! :P Correct. Poseidon, being the ocean god has some chance in blocking lightning bolts with water, but the Master Bolt is virtually unstoppable. Riptide would be instantly melted to liquid bronze if it got hit by that weapon. The Master Bolt can be blocked in only two ways.

But still, I prefer Poseidon because his powers are so cool and versatile, whereas Zeus merely relies on the brute strength of his lightning bolts.
