In the opening set up that means the knight has a 3/19 or 4/19 chance of getting a valid result. Not ideal. If the knights can move to a more centralised position and the surrounding pieces make an effort to get around the knight then that chance might improve to 6/19 or so. Still not great, but a better chance anyway.

I know how the Knights' scans work.

I'm just saying that if all the Knights are good, and the big pieces (rook/bishop) are good, then each knight can try and scan one of the big pieces right beside them. Eliminating a Rook Wolf or a Bishop Wolf can be pretty big.

That is, if noone moves.

I will echo the sentiment that that's going to be a stretch to expect everyone to stay put.
