You can only declare you are using this feat immediately before you perform an attack (either with a standard action or with the first attack of a full attack action) where to-hit rolls will occur, and you must expend that attack against a valid enemy creature within the range of your attack. This feat operates even if you cannot perceive the enemy (but you know one is around somewhere), or if that enemy is somehow immune to your attacks. It cannot be used, however, when you attack with something that does not require a to-hit roll, such as a Fireball spell.
