Though it does weaken the tendrils, they're being sustained by her energy, so they're replenished even as they're damaged and thus don't burn away completely.
Her forte is not, in fact, long-distance fighting, so even though she has the ability to do so, her versatility with it is rather limited. And since the needles were ineffective last time and Saten hasn't yet been worn down at all, she's going to try the direct approach.
A couple seconds later she appears behind Rin, this time only feet away from him. Far enough to not be caught in his flames when she's re-solidifying. She quickly lunges in, darkness in her hand formed into a long, thin blade, risking the flames in order to try to get a slice at his right arm.
Even if she actually manages to cut it off, she's not worried about the synchronization. When she has enough power she can reattach her own limbs. ]
