Nico can just force Percy to die. Make him blow up in flames. Raise the dead to fight him. Summon the skeleton of Luke who can beat him in a sword battle. And even more.

While Percy could only control his blood or attack him with water or kill him with a sword or get horses to trample Nico. And that's about it.

Percy's powerful, but in a death match, Nico has the advantage because his power revolves around the Underworld and death. Nico's powers are also more lethal. It's not that simple. If Nico could just 'force' Percy to die, the children of Hades would not have lost WW2. As with raising the dead, Percy would be completely capable of fighting them, as he did in The Son of Neptune. He could probably also beat Luke not, as even if Luke is still better at fighting, Percy would just win by summoning water. Having powers related to underworld and death does not make you automatically win fights.
