Annabeth and Percy wrote: I like what you said about Percy being the best swordsman and the most powerful demigod in a hundred years, because you're right. By the end of both series, Jason and Nico both seem to at least rival Percy's powers and skills. Especially Nico, who has shown himself to be a formidably prodigy, being considerably more trained in using his powers than Percy. Nico also seems to have a greater variety of powers than either Percy or Jason. Nico's swordsmanship also seems to rival Percy's since he regularly trains with the undead, had no problems keeping up with the much more experienced Percy and Thalia (while battling the Keres), and survived the intense Battle of the House of Hades unscathed (single-hahdedly  overwhelming an entire group of mighty six-armed Earthborn ), in spite of being limited in the latter battle by the fact that he could only fight with one hand. While Nico did claim that Percy is the most powerful demigod that he has ever meet, it should be noted that Nico was deeply in love with Percy at the time, which makes the statement biased.

As for Jason... well, while his powers might have been somewhat inferior to Percy's during the beginning of the series, Dylan admitted than the son of Jupiter has significantly increased his power since then. Also, during their eidolon-controlled battle, Jason and Percy seemed evenly matched, with Percy ultimately winning only because the son of Jupiter was momentarily distracted by Piper's charmspeak.
