@Annabeth and Percy

But it would only be logical for that to be the case, since Percy was the main character of the first series (him being the title character!), and one of the legendary Seven Heroes of Olympus, while Nico di Angelo was, sadly, always a somewhat secondary character in comparison, and featured far less in both series as a whole :(((. But, as I have stated before - just because Percy has more feats, the fact that Nico has never been in most of those situations in and of itself does not indicate that he would have fared less than Percy (unless the situation could only be overcome with hydrokinesis, such as escaping the exploding Princess Andromeda quickly enough to survive, or defending oneself against the attacks of 2 water deities while underwater). Hence, since we lack a decent amount of feats from Nico (due to him not being in the right place at the right time, so to speak), we can only attempt to draw logical conclusions from what we do know.

Aside from that, it also depresses me when Uncle Rick go out of his way to weaken his characters in certain situations, in spite it being illogical overall...For instance, Percy claims that Chrysaor is just as good of a swordsman as Ares himself. However since Percy was able to defeat the god of war in a sword fight (when he was still only 12 years old, and not yet fully trained!) and has significantly increased in power and skill since then, it is unlikely that Chrysaor would have been able to defeat him so easily. There is another inconsistency there, since Percy claims to have never fought a swordsman as skilled as Chrysaor ever since he fought Ares, while he HAS fought Luke, whose skills rivaled Ares'....
