I know you are not as familiar with hammers as you are with swords but do you know if an Amaranth Kick is executed as fast as a Butterfly Swing #1?
I've tried timing it and they seem to be the same but I cannot for the life of my pull off two full Amaranth Kicks on a downed Vampire boss even though I can easily do two Butterfly Swings. For the Butterfly Swings I even allow all normal hits to land whereas for the kicks I try my best to avoid the normal attacks and go for the smash.
I believe they're timed similarly, but remember, Amaranth requires sword slashes, and hitting monsters with those slashes causes that pause for effect. Those pauses can add up.

I've noticed which sword and hammer hits add the most delay. It seems that both the overhead sword and overhead hammer attacks cause the extra delay to your attack for each target you hit. As a result, if you want to get both amaranth kicks off, you must NOT hit with the overhead sword during either combo, and you're only allowed maybe 1 or 2 non-overhead normal hits, since those will still add a tiny bit of delay. With Butterfly Swing, there's less to worry about because the first 3 hits don't add much in the way of extra animation time.

If you can get the mats then the Spider Lord
If you want to just skip that to save some cash, get the Light Melka (quest reward, not hard) and a couple levels later the Laghodessa Set, which is the best set you can get until Shining.

I just thought I should mention Fionas can use shield charge in a similar fashion to quickly open doors, like I included in my Scythe guide for blink.

In Red Tyrant, I use sprint smash whenever I know I won't get a good blossom blow/amaranth kick. Eventually I'll get SP: Slashing High, and start spamming Sprint Smash Heavy Cancel. I can usually get 15 to connect and it usually will go down after a certain amount, even if he just stood up. Only good if he stays in the spot.
My tyrant runs that I host usually are done at 56:00 and faster with a really good guild/regular party.

Plate Sets do have pieces of Heavy Armor, so both will be used.

He might as well get the Spider Lord Set since Laghodessa is made from it.

I heard so many people saying hammers become meh in episodes 6 or 7, I want more info on this because I like hammers and I don't wanna feel like having to switch forcefully lol

simply put if you are bad with hammers now you will be worse when episode 6 and 7 come out. If your a decent player it should be no problem at all.

And unless VindictusDB is horribly wrong on a lot of things, some Plate actually has Heavy Proficiency requirements.

Sprint smash involves a combination of sprinting and smashing. Don't really see where the confusion comes from...
