Dont get me wrong, Reyna and Hylla are badass, but I don't think they can take down two powerful children of the sky god. I think Thalia and Jason are more skilled too. Thalia took down Luke in combat,the latter being the best swordsmen in 300 years in CHB, and Jason had 12 years of experience, which is way more years than Reyna has. Not  to mention that Thalia is a Hunter of Artemis, so she's faster, stronger, and more agile than even a demigod, and an insanely skilled archer. Archery really isn't a plausible tactic. I'm pretty sure both Hylla & Reyna could easily disarm both Thalia & Jason, and anyway are much better sword-to-sword/knife-to-knife fighters than Thalia. Plus, both Hylla and Reyna are faster, stronger, and more agile than the average demigod,being the daughters of a war goddess. Plus their little strength booster(which they could simultaneously due to each other, as they are very attuned). PLUS, Hylla has Hippolyta's Labyrinthine  Belt, which enabled her to catch an arrow stronger than any Huntress's, being from a FREAKIN GIANT who shoots with the deadly skill of Lady Artemis.

And honestly, neither Jason or Thalia could've taken down the a literal boatload of the strongest Pirates TO EVER EXIST, mind you, especially without the use of lightning. Honestly there is no point in having fights with powers vs. no-powers because generally powers will win. Now, without powers, Team Ramirez would certainly win.

And even moreso, Team Grace's powers are very iffy. One second Thalia 'sparks' when she's angry, the next she tries to kill Percy with  a bolt. One minute Jason struggles to lift himself or a thin vegetarian girl(Piper) or takes minutes to gather a storm, the next he can knock over fifty foot giants with gust of wind & call lightning with his javelin in a clear blue sky. Rick makes them strong only when it fits the story.
