You need a couple of things:

1) Suction cup.

2) Screwdriver kit that contains pentalobe and torx bits. You don't need to buy some expensive kit as you can get them cheaply from any hardware store.

What is the suction cup for?

Pulling off the bottom plate once you've removed the screws. It's not essential, but it obviates the risk of damaging the case with a spudger or other prying tool.

I always lifted it up from the heatsink side with my fingers. It overhangs a few mm from the hinge.

I think it's not possible to open 2016+ models without suction cup anymore, there is some weird clips inside that open up with bending of of case.

I think Apple finally won with making their computers impossible to open.
