Depending on the strategy you decide to go with, you will require a substantial number of Revives and Potions. It is best if you can expend Max Revives so that you don't have to revive and heal your attackers separately. Apart from that, make sure to have stable internet so that you don't get disconnected in the middle of the raid.
