And lets not forget that Percy incapacitated Nico while not being fully awake. And from a post above, Nico has fought a titan, as he was present when fighting Iapetus in the sword of Hades although yes that was when he was a lot younger. Nico and percy are each compared to nuclear bombs and from what we have seen we can safely assume that nico is and expert combatant, maybe not in percy's league but still pretty high.

edit: erick i hadn't seen most of your post

It's ok. I know I wrote to much, I tried to counter-argue almost all the points, from many threads, like Nico's Shadow Travel, to feats, to Percy's powers, combat, almost everything. I do not want this fight to be biased, like the other threads.

As for Percy incapacitating Nico not being fully awake, it really shows his awareness even when he's half asleep, an as for Nico fighting Iapetus, well, Percy was younger as well, and was able to defeat him, despite being badly injured which Nico nor Thalia was, which is another example of Percy's great combat skills and battle awareness.
