I don't like fire swords because I think too hard about how the sword would cauterize wounds making it harder to pull out. I guess it doesn't really matter because Grimm dissolve, but having a sword coated in fire seems a lot less practical than one that uses ice (slippery terrain, ice spikes, reducing visibility, barriers) or air (increase attack speed, blind opponents, cut from afar, propel yourself, push back enemies).
