How many times do Hazel have to show you how powerful she is ? I know Nico is stronger than her. Nico is the second most powerful demigod after Percy. But that doesn't mean she's weak compared to Nico. This is not the Kane Chronicles. They don't have rankings like that in these books. If they did, the Big Three children would be first. But:

It depends on location. In the desert Nico (Geokinesis) and Jason come out on top, in the Ocean, Jason and Percy come out on top, and in the Underworld, Percy (knows the map better then Jason) and Nico come out on top.

Then under them would be Leo and Frank (tied), Annabeth, Hazel and Piper (tied and if not, Hazel A LITTLE above Piper), then Thalia (come on, all we've really seen is that she sux and summoning lightning from the sky and she sux at Aerokinesis because of her fear), then comes Reyna (actually, Reyna above Hazel and Piper and tied with Annabeth), and then the list keeps going. You think Leo and Frank are stronger than the girls? And:

Annabeth can't fight, her strategy often consists of distracting her opponent (and further, her opponents tend to be monsters/demigods with very low intelligence). Even Reyna would demolish her in a serious fight. Yes, Annabeth mostly consists of distracting her opponent. But since The Blood of Olympus, she's learned to do more than that. And she knows how Reyna is, and probably thinks that trying to distract won't work. So I'll say they're both tied. In terms of usefulness, making fire and building awesome stuff while on top of turning into animals like dragons AND weapon expert PLUS being invulnerable to everything on some occasions (Yeah I'm talking about you blessing of Ares) could be used in more situations then wisdom (which is the girls greatest ally but could still fail them, it's not like Annabeth is Athena), Charmspeak (which doesn't work all that well on females), and Gem summoning (but if I did have a horse that ate gold that would be perfect!!!). But in terms of actual strength and combat prowess I do change my minds and the girls may win (well some of them). But people seriously underestimate Leo for some reason.
