One big thing fire has going for it is pheonix pyre. you don't want to base your strategy around this as you'll rack up afflictions, but it's a pretty good last line defense on an otherwise tough guy to help protect against plenty of the standard SC counters (soul slay/disentigrate spaming, etc). Also, the fire kings (no surprise) really shine against troops which aren't heat resistant/immune with a powerful fire shield and heat aura.
