P.s - Don't tell me Pasiphae underestimated Hazel. She herself said that she expected Hecate would send an opponent more powerful, as Hazel was not able to see her location.

Percy also tricks other opponents just fine, he can also use trickery. Nico says that Percy is the most powerful demigod he met, however he had met Hazel at that time.

Hazel can only control solid metals, not liquid.

Just because Nico has a crush on Percy doesn't mean he is exaggerating. By saying she expected an opponent more powerful, that means she thought Hazel was weak. Percy has no training with the mist. HAZEL'S MOTHER WAS A WITCH, AND HER TRAINER THE GODDESS OF MAGIC. Percy was barely trained by Chiron, he can only trick mortals(who are easy to trick because they can't see through the mist. Percy couldn't even trick Thalia, much less a girl who can control the mist, as taught by THE GODDESS WHO CREATED IT.

Percy has only tricked opponents who are already stupid, like Polybotes or The Cyclopes. Hazel has tricked opponents with human-level intelligence, which takes actual training witt the mist, something Percy is never shown to have.
