The most useless and pointless character is Piper. If they all had to do something like the MoA, Percy and Annabeth would obviously succeed. Jason, being perfecto and all, would, too. Leo probably would, he's amazing at solving stuff. And Frank and Hazel, although they're a bit useless, could probably get through it. Piper would be stuck using her dagger and trying to talk her way out of it.
