Also why does everyone always underestimate Apollo's strength, like in the previous debate when people keep putting him down with no evidence to back them up. Apollo is the god of many things.

Quoted from the Riordan wiki "Apollo is known to be Zeus' most powerful son, since Zeus trusted him with more significant powers than any of his other children. Therefore, Apollo is an extremely powerful god, surpassed only by the Big Three, Hera, Demeter, and Hestia."

Just because Apollo is arrogant and often not serious does not make him weak, in a fight to the death with Artemis, he would use whatever it takes to win and defeat Artemis due to his arrogance which means he does not want to lose.

Blood lusted Apollo will destroy Artemis without mercy as shown in him firing arrows at the greek camp despite being a Greek god in the trojan war and driving Orion insane as well as killing the cyclopes that made Zeus thunder bolt when his son died.

Apollo can be extremely fierce and angry As shown in Percy Jackson's Greek Gods, one of the factors that fueled Apollo's dark side was his protectiveness of his mother, Leto - after Niobe insulted Leto, Apollo ruthlessly killed all seven of her sons. Later on, he personally asked Hades to eternally torture Tityos for harassing his mother.
