Okay I know that reinforce says to decrease the damage by 1 to a minimum of 1. But does that happen before any green dice?

Say i attack boba and roll 3 hits and he rolls 2 evades and has a reinforce. Does he use his reinforce to bring it down to 2 hits and then his 2 evades cancel out the rest? Or does he still take 1 damage.

Or scenario B, i attack a lambda with a reinforce and roll only 1 hit. Is that hit going through no matter what or can his green die cancel out that damage even though he has reinforce?

the effect happens during the neutralize results step, so you roll dice to see how many hits go through before adding the evade if more than one hit or crit goes through.

Reinforce states that it triggers in the Neutralize Results step if the attack hits and more than one hit/crit remains. "Remains" only makes sense if you first neutralize hits/crits with evades and then apply reinforce.

So in both of your examples one damage goes through.
EDIT: I misread the second example. @meffo is right, if you roll an evade it obviously cancels out the one hit.

not in the second example. if the lambda rolls an evade, no damage goes through and the reinforce effect never happens.

You can never use reinforce to take 0 damage. If you happen to roll enough evades to take 0 without it you're fine.

The way it's actually phrased in the rules is AFTER using all your rolled evades to cancel hits, you may add an additional evade if there are at least 2 hits and/or crits remaining.
