Leo can just stand at a safe distance and shoot his fire, though. Ummm...There is now safe distance from Skeletal warriors who can only be defeated by a child of Hades(Like the Once when Percy told Nico about Bianca). And as I said waaaaaay back, Nico has the advantage against fire because:

Disadvantages of:Leo: he has Fire powers which, would effect Nico. WOULD, mind you. Because Leo would be to busy fighting of Nico's Skeletons or having to get through his bone armor. And Since Leo isn't shown to do swordplay, he would be relying on his powers to do either task I mentioned. His Fire Powers to be exact. And bone melts at  1381 deg. Celsius or 2517.8 deg. Fahrenheit. That's hotter than When lava first breaks through the surface of the Earth, it is an extremely hot liquid. On average, fresh lava can be between 1,300° F and 2,200° F! Depending on its exact temperature, fresh lava usually glows either orange/red (cooler) or white (hotter).

Also, aren't they super humanly strong and wasn't that bone cage he made hard for an immortal to break? So it might take even more heat. So Leo's biggest weakness is his reliance on powers( Although I'm to lazy to bring up his technokinesis) and his lack of physical power as well as How easy it is for Nico to simply overwhelm him.

Leo probably couldn't throw tools strong enough to break bones.(Or (in essence) Nico's skeletal warriors)

Throat – Crushing the human throat takes roughly that same amount of pressure as crushing an empty soda can. 4. Collar bone – Approximately 8 lbs of force to snap this bone. 5. Elbow joint – Breaking the elbow joint take between 5-8 lbs of force. 6. Knee joint – Putting direct force against the joint in the knee can be devastating, Breaking this joint takes approximately 15 lbs of pressure                                                                                                                                                  I stop at 15 pounds because Leo is pretty scrawny so even though he could probably lift more he could not THROW much more, or not accurately, at least. Gods now I keep imagining  Leo whipping out a screwdriver and throwing it quoit-style(HoH reference!)

Just copying my own post lower into the thread so people can see what arguments have already been made.
