Luke is not a genius but i would say he is smarter than percy, percy is not dim but he is quite average and manipulated by emotions

Luke is considered a great sword fighter and taught percy, percy repeatedly states how great luke is at sword fighting so i would say luke is better slightly, however regardless Lukes swordmanship is superior to nicos, as much as i like nico he is does not have that level of skill in combat

I think Luke survived due to titan interference, they helped prevent his fall or healed him afterwards, if he had the curse then he would not have been concerned about the heroes or Atlas and they would have not been a match for him
