Problem with Tear is that it doesn't give any health and that's a pretty important stat on her. That's the main reason why most people don't buy any Lost Chapter items on her and stick to either Rod of Ages or - what mains prefer - Proto Belt. She's a low ranged engage mage, she has to be able to take a Little beating. And although Seraphs grants a big Shield once it's finished, it takes way too long to get there.

If you are going for the late game especially, Tear is definitly an Item worth buying, but if you want to be efficient early on you should stick to Proto or Rod.
