Rulings
It can target any creature on the battlefield, not just one of the ones blocking it.
The ability allows you to deal damage during the declare blockers step of combat, which is well before even first strike creatures deal damage.
The ability is optional. You can decide to allow it to deal combat damage as normal.
The ability triggers even if a spell or ability makes it blocked, instead of being blocked by a creature.
