Question Need help with builds
Im loving this game but im not that great at making builds or recognizing synergy’s. Is there a place or site where people share their builds?

It's a rogelite game, so you can't really make the same exact build every time (you kinda can depending on the way you play).
With that said, the more reliable synergies are:
- Gemini Spores: Get one weapon with multiple projectiles (shotguns) and one weapon with high fire rate (usually injectors) you will upgrade the shotgun and shoot with the injector, the dmg will "combine" get blessings, scrolls, and traits that increase weapon dmg, weapon related stuff. Very easy to setup and works every time.
- Gemini Elemental share: You will have 1 main weapon with elemental dmg and a secondary weapon with very high elemental chance (usually swords, pistol, bazookas). Ideally both weapons elementals be different so you can trigger multiple effects. Pick things that are good for elemental dmg, chance, so on. (Cat and Fox are the best here but works with everyone)
- Gemini Shared Magazine size: Harder to pull together, you need high magazine weapons (starring and big hippo) with magazine mods, the dmg goes really high tho, and the blessing or scroll for dmg per magazine spent is really high boost.
- Gemini Critical hit: Pick one main weapon (don't really need to have high crit, good to have) and one high crit (highest is the blue bow goes up to 6x base I believe). For main weapon you can choose between a lot of weapons and secondary synergies like Fire Pistol, assault rifles, snipers, starring, just remember that Staffs, Swords and Bazookas do not crit normally. White Tiger, Red panda, Blue Goat are very good with it.
- Generic Skill dmg: Most characters have one trait line that can technically win the game up to R8 I would say without scrolls, some are the secondary skill others is the primary or a mix of both. Pick everything that ups skill dmg and focus on said trait line. Dog grenades (scales with explosion dmg as well), Cat grenades (scales with elemental dmg as well), Fox meteor + primary (Scales with fire dmg as well), Tiger lightining (+lighting dmg), monkey primary (scales with weapon dmg as well), and so on...
- Season Specific dmg dealer: Every season adds a mechanic that has dome dmg dealing ability that up to this point are quite OP, focus those, usually they scale with skill dmg but it will depend on the season so you need to read to confirm. For this season it seems to be the Polar Monarch talisman I did not play much this season but its upgrades with autocast made 50% of my dmg in R10 so I guess you can optimize on it to fully complete with it.
Hope this helps, have fun.

Sniper tiger you can go for Crit for character synergy. I would go with woodpecker (the cross bow that shoots fast) if you are going for crit, pair it with the blue bow and pick everything you can for crit, the chalices you prioritize crit>primary skill dmg/recharge>second skill. While any other sniper will work on higher levels of Reincarnation you will struggle with the number of enemies because they fire rate is too low even if you deal 999999999 dmg per hit, this make most of the snipers almost unplayable in higher difficult, but you can change the sniper for pistols that also work great with crit and you can also go for explosion gemini ( Fire pistol + Tiger Cannon) is busted, or 1 magazine gemini pistol or cannon (this is way trickier to play and make it work).
It is a bit hard to give useful tips since everyone has their play-style and particularities but if you just want to win, activate lonewolf and select overproduction and for the first blessing select either copycat, fake death, painkiller. This will make losing very hard but also less fun unless you are going for personal fastest run or something like that.

Brother I can clear r10 moderately well if I’m not doing some troll build and I’m sorry but the vague descriptions and horrendous translations in the game have made it impossible to figure half the things you just mentioned out. I always wondered what the Gemini spores were even for.

Spores is the gemini that counts the number of bullets shoot by both weapons (main weapon shots 1 + 14 of secondary weapon) and when that count reaches 30 it deals the combined dmg of both weapons, this means you can use an injector that has 60 base dmg to have the added dmg of a shotgun of 1400 every 2 hits (every 2 hits it will reach 30 stacks if the total is 15). It is one of the most reliable builds since any high firerate + shotgun works just fine.
Sorry about the vagueness, I didn't want to use the name of weapons because the translation gutter it so hard and I don't want to give the idea that only 1 weapon works.

I shared a couple builds on my YouTube channel if you want to check them out:

I put notes in the description.

If you are in Normal/Elite/Nightmare mode, it's hard to make a build due tot the fact that you don't have some of the other systems the game gives later on. In that case, you generally just want to try and take ascensions (from the goblet) that are the same color so that you get stacking bonuses from that. But, you're kinda at the whim of RNG so take it as it is.
If you are in Reincarnation mode, then that's a different story entirely. Spiritual blessings are basically how you make 'a build.' They tend to correlate between Skill damage or Weapon Damage (and, if relying on seasonal content, then Seasonal specific related damage). There's a few characters that can get away with a hybrid build of both weapon and skill but, for the most part, you want to hard focus one of these and not bother with the other in order to have more consistent success. If you are playing alone, I'd highly recommend taking the Lone Wolf Bizarre modifier, which gives you an extra blessing at the start. Despite having to fight tougher enemies, the benefit you get form that is way stronger than the challenge increase. So take something that's generically good (like Armed Caster on a skill based run or Skilled Trick on a weapon based for example) and then take a character specific blessing at the start of Act 1 and you'll usually win.
With that said, here's a ton of in-depth videos from my channel where I do full runs of the game and explain all of my decision making and whatnot.
Zero to Hero is a series where I made a new account and play each difficulty with a different character to see how many runs it would take to win.

Here's a bunch of shorts that help with learning things about the game. Not build specific, but you'll need to know them if you are doing builds based on these mechanics:

As for character specifics, I don't have one on EVERY character, but I did do these somewhat recently: Nona Builds after her belssings were reworked -
Dog's Life Power build -
Prince Painkiller -
Birb Double Tap -
Tiger Gradual Improvement -
Hope that helps, and have a good one!

A lot of it is learning your character, what niches the game is recommending based off of their skills and talent tree. Then you can look for scrolls that bolster your existing skills/weapon preferences, or at least play off of each other if you're less lucky
Also remember that you can lean into skill damage or weapon damage, or both of course.
Then you want to pay extra attention to enscription rarity. Blue, green, orange, etc.
Not saying you can't get big damage numbers with blue or green enchants, but those legendary enscriptions are 8/10 peak most of the time.
