How big are the roots? Usually I put my corms in around a 2inch pot until they outgrow it. I would find it difficult to manage watering it properly in a larger pot like that without rotting the roots. Have you checked the roots?
It also looks a bit crispy, usually my plants look like that when they’re burned, like when they get too close to a grow light or they get too much light and not enough water. Again, easier to regulate in a smaller pot.
Alocasia corms are pretty picky with their environment in my experience. Wait until that leaf finishes dying back and then you can cut it. After that, I’d put it in a chamber that keeps the humidity high while it grows it’s first couple leaves, then slowly acclimate it to your room’s humidity. I had one shrivel up like this when I separated my corms because my room was just too dry at around 40%-50% usually. After giving it an environment with high humidity, it did the trick and they started growing again for me.
