Strategy -- The Shadow Children are one of the most difficult enemies. They are not affected by weak light, so the Runaway Kid has to go near them to cause damage. Shadow Children spawn behind corners and under furniture, making it difficult to spot them. When they are hit by light, they will walk quickly to the side to avoid. They can take refuge behind objects. There is a limited number of them and a patient player can deal with them. If Shadow Children attack at the same time, get near a corner to keep them off(they can't move closer to you when under light). Shadow Children are still slow when moving. If they get a certain distance to you, they will crouch and fly towards the player at a fast speed. If the player is caught in the animation, they will float before falling lifeless to the ground. But if the player avoids they will have to stop and try again after missing. Shadow Children cannot heal, so they will die quicker the next time caught in the light.
