You don't want to swing at Life vs BY Luffy early in the game (taking 1 life early is fine though). BY Luffy only becomes insane once he has 0 Life to use his Leader ability, but by not touching his Life, he is forced to take his own Life in a slower pace. The idea is you want to establish a strong board while taking out any opposing characters that would get in the way later, so that way when BY Luffy is at least at 1 Life, you can attempt to swing for game with your powerful board. The match-up is actually not bad for Katakuri.
How do you play with kata vs byluffy?
you don't
Seems favored no?

Don’t attack, set up for big moms and kata 8 drop. Then start swinging 13s
Leave them at 3-4 life, stall long enough to build your board, and then go for the kill. Works every time for me.
