Notes
- This card's ongoing effect specifically modifies the hunter Hero Powers
Steady Shot and Ballista Shot, allowing them to target, in addition to the enemy hero, any friendly or enemy minion. In particular:
- Has no effect on any other Hero Power. For example, it does not allow a player to choose the target of
DIE, INSECT!. - Hero Powers affected by Dwarven Sharpshooter cannot be used to target their own hero.

Strategy
On top of having premium statline for a 1-drop, being able to use your Hero Power to deal 2 damage for removal is exceedingly useful. It has an advantage over 
Steamwheedle Sniper in that you can play your Hero Power on curve. It fits well on a midrange-style Hunter deck for keeping the early game in control, moreso than an aggressive deck that wants to hit face as often as possible. It's a welcome addition to decks that use other Hero Power synergy cards like Dragonbane and Toxic Reinforcements.
