M+K: W to recover quickly

[Forna]

Does it actually do something.

I had to start using M&K since my controller broke but whenever i get stunned i see that the button to speed up recovery should be W, and neither mashing nor holding produce any noticeable effect on my recovery, I even tried various combination of the wasd movement key with no result.

While using a joystick the left-right movement of the stick could produce a noticeable speed up in the stun debuff countdown so I was wondering, does recovery speed up with mouse and keyboard even work? Am I supposed to do something different?

Any movement is supposed to help recovery and it's only changes the difference by a small percentage. If you were to be stunned for a whole second, wiggling will recover in maybe 3/4 of a second. It isn't a huge difference, though when the monster is trying a follow up attack, it might get you control so you can dodge.

Times like this I really miss Wirebug Recovery.

I haven't tested it in Wilds, and I use a controller, but in Worlds if you never touched the controls it would take FOREVER to recover. I just kind of assume it's the same here.
