What's wrong with my Silver Dragon

There are crispy brownish yellow spots on the edge of all the leaves. What's happening. #help

This issue is not plant specific, but in my opinion, it is generally caused from 3 things. Sometimes these combined overwatering or the roots, touching the edge of the pot. Causing root stress from heat.
Which causes necrosis.

Should the plant be repotted @OhGollyItsJolly

@NewColeus69 well in this picture I can’t see the size of the pot or the plant so I’m not really at liberty to say. But if you can pick the pot up and look at the drainage holes, and if you see any roots poking out of the bottom it’s looking for a new home.
now, if the soil is wet to the touch like a knuckle down on your finger, I would definitely repot it
also in comparison Colocasias can live directly in water.
Alocasias will drown
