I'm hoping they don't. But yes, yours is actually the single most likely nerf to one of the turns, now that I think on it.

As for the others, it's based on what happened to Second Coil. Blighted Bouquet for instance used to straight up destroy you for doing it wrong, now most everyone who's topped off can power through it if they make a mistake. The Coil was made significantly more forgiving, and any nerfs brought up on FCoB will likely be similar, designed to be more forgiving. My guess is some things that caused stacks to accrue may be looking at some time on the chopping block.

FCoB fights are designed that it helps in some way when you upgrade your gear or echo increase.

And yes, I realize this, FCoB is designed on the whole to punish you for poor play in a way that you can recover from (unless you've messed up a lot).
