I searched the faq and this forum and the strategy forum, but i really find any info

let's say i have a shinobi and i just picked up to cyber implants +7 dodge or +7 defense..

what's the differences/benefits

Defence lowers chances to hit when an enemy targets that soldier. Dodge increases chances of a hit becoming a graze (or a critical hit becoming a normal hit). Both pretty valuable in different ways.

Also I remember JoINrbs saying in one of his videos that AI does not pay attention to dogde but pays attention to defense when picking targets. That means a high defense score could be better for squishy characters so they are on average a less attractive target.

Yup, and high dodge with the lowest defense (relative to the rest of your soldiers) is good on tanky characters, so they draw fire and soak it up as grazes

ahhh, thanks for the info, guys.
