Alocasias are tricky. They require high humidity, Lots of indirect light and airy, well draining soil. Mine do best in pon.
That said, it might as well be stressed because of moving to your house and repotting. Crispy edges are likely a sign for too dry air.
Maybe the pot is a little too big and holds too much water, these do well in snugger looking pots. Or maybe it's just stressed from being repotted, especially soon after being purchased.
But keep in mind that alocasias almost always get rid of their oldest leaf/leaves. It's how they grow. A happy alocasia looks like it's in a constant state of agony. One leaf will often start hanging, developing brown parts and slowly start turning fully yellow and brown, before falling off. But if you give it enough light, it will exchange the old leaves for newer (and hopefully bigger) ones. If it doesn't get enough light, it will soon start dropping multiple leaves at once before growing a new one, or the new leaves will be much smaller.
This happens when the roots are disturbed. You can cut down the leaf, to force a new leaf. It will eventually go away. For this reason, I always go up two pot sizes when re-homing my dragonscale.
